Techniques from ehowhome
Give mixed herb containers enough sun, steady moisture, and regular dilute feeding
For multiple plants in one pot, provide at least 6 hours of sun, keep soil consistently moist (a saucer helps), and fertilize regularly with a dilute liquid feed.
Plant herbs in biodegradable pots by planting the whole pot
When herbs come in biodegradable pots, place the entire pot into the soil instead of removing the plant.
Support a container tomato with a bamboo tripod and twine
Use a simple bamboo tripod tied with twine to support a tomato plant in a pot.
Plant herbs in small spaces using containers
Use containers to grow herbs when you don’t have garden space; even small areas can hold many pots.
Harvest parsley from the outside first to keep the plant producing
Pick parsley by taking the outer stems around the edge so the center keeps pushing new growth.
Store fresh-cut basil at room temperature in a jar like a bouquet (not in the fridge)
Keep basil stems in a glass jar/vase on the counter instead of refrigerating to avoid cold damage and browning.
Pinch off basil flower spikes to keep leaf production going
Remove basil flower spikes as they appear if you want the plant to keep producing lots of leaves.
Harvest basil often to keep it producing more leaves
Cut basil regularly; frequent harvesting encourages the plant to put out more fragrant, tasty leaves.
