so we have recently begun to grow a small variety of herbs in our apartment....each herb is in a separate, small pot....we have planted a few seeds in each pot
so, when we want to use some of the herbs, do we basically just pull out the entire little plant, and then plant some new seeds? tonight, we want to use our entire little farm of basil (its not that much)....but what if we only needed some of the basil? is it ok to just pluck a few leaves?
i think we are supposed to let them grow, then replant them in larger pots....if we were to let them grow nice and big that way, it prob wont be a problem to just harvest a portion of the plant...but our place is small, so they will prob stay in the little pots...and thats why im wondering if its just smarter to uproot the entire little plant, and grow a new one
