maybe stupid question, but how long after planting do you take off herbs
for instance, i planted a few herbs about a month ago and i do see they grew a little, have gotten longer (not too much though) but my question is, how soon can you start cutting them to use? how often? will they still grow? if you cut everything off.. will it still grow or not until next year? My herbs are rosemary, cilantro.. thanks!
Re: maybe stupid question, but how long after planting do you take off herbs
If you remove all the the leaves of an herb during the growing season, it will die. plants need leaves to make food, after all.
maybe post pictures?
Usually herbs really get going once the weather heats up. I don't know what it's like in MA, but we've had a very cool and wet spring, so I'm going to have to wait at least a few more weeks.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
I am not sure about the rosemary, but for the cilantro, once it has wide well colored (bright green) leaves you can cut the tops. Cilantro does not continue to produce, so once you harvest, you can actually put more seeds down so you have more later in the year. Cilantro will not come back on its own next year unless you let it seed itself, and to let it seed, you'll need to leave some of the plants uncut.
Hope this helps!
