How do I know when to harvest herbs for the best flavor

You’ll know it’s time to harvest herbs when they’re at their peak growth, usually just before they start to flower. For most herbs, like basil or mint, the leaves should be vibrant and full. Just give them a little taste test – if the flavor is strong and aromatic, you’re good to go!

A good rule of thumb is to harvest herbs in the morning after the dew has dried but before the sun gets too hot. That’s when the oils are most concentrated, giving you the best flavor. Also, try to pick the leaves when they’re young and tender; they’ll pack a bigger punch in your dishes!
