How do I know when to harvest herbs

Sure thing! Here are four different ways to answer that:

**Look for the Right Size**: You’ll want to harvest your herbs when they’re big enough to use but not too big that they start to flower. Generally, wait until they’re about 6-8 inches tall.

**Smell and Taste Test**: If your herbs are smelling super fragrant and the leaves taste good, it’s probably time to pick some! Just make sure they’re not wilting or turning brown.

**Check the Leaves**: If the leaves are vibrant and healthy, that’s a good sign! But if they start to look a bit sad or yellow, that might mean it’s time to cut them back.
