This has stopped me on a number of occasions from picking herbs to use. However, in my experience (as long as you don't pull most of the plant out!), herbs actually like being picked - it makes them grow back bushier. It's a bit like pruning roses. A good tip is to pick the leaves at the top of the plant - the growing tip, as this makes the plant bush out more. <br /><br />Basil, thyme and chives are great herbs! Very useful - also compact so good for small spaces. What do you like to use them for? Basil for me means pizza!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00374308108816802313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905525679333721506.post-9669438571960899902012-10-12T21:11:56.523+10:302012-10-12T21:11:56.523+10:30I would love to have a garden with herbs, but now,...I would love to have a garden with herbs, but now, I have only a window-box. I love to grow basil, thyme and chives. But it would be great to have more, as I always feel sorry for them when I use them.Zeeonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708108748614909665noreply@blogger.com
