HARVESTING YOUR HERBS
For maximum flavour , harvest your herbs just before use . Most herbs enjoy being picked frequently - simply pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier , compact growth and to delay annual herbs going to seed . Harvesting often also helps prevent pests and di-sease . Always start by cutting from the outermost branches and then work your way in . One of the many rewards of growing your own herbs is that you can save and store enough to last you through the winter months . There are plenty of resources to learn techniques for drying , freezing , and prolonging the freshness of your favourite herbs .
GARDEN ZONE
Overall , herbs are incredibly easy to grow compared to some other plants . If you dream of one day eating straight from your garden , the best place to start is with herbs . Once you ’ ve mastered the herb garden , you can move on to salad greens , and then more high maintenance plants like tomatoes , beans or artichokes . Enjoy !
