Care through the season
Keep growth compact by harvesting or trimming regularly where appropriate. Avoid prolonged waterlogging and adapt watering to container size, weather and the plant's natural preference. Container-grown herbs often need closer moisture checks than established plants in open soil.
Harvest, use or garden role
Harvest small amounts regularly when the plant is growing strongly. Flavour, winter hardiness and pruning needs vary between species and cultivars, so local conditions and the intended kitchen use remain important.
Calendar dates are orientation only. Local temperature, rainfall, soil condition and cultivar should always take priority over a fixed month.
