Annual herbs such as basil, cilantro, dill, and chervil can be fully harvested about once a month during the growing season. This regular pruning encourages new growth and maximizes leaf yield. In this video, culinary herbalist Susan Belsinger demonstrates how to get the most from your annual herbs.

The basils are probably 14" long, how long should I cut? Also, from the looks of the lemon basil, it seems that it lacks nutrients. What do I have to do to bring back it rich green color because its current color is dull pale green. Sorry if I have many questions. Honestly, Me and my sister have just started growing plants and I admit that we have scanty knowledge of caring for them. I hope that someone can respond to my questions as soon as possible because I want to save my basils. Thank you very much!
