Herbs Growth Rates
The length of time for herbs to grow from planting to harvest varies depending on the type of herb. Annual herbs grow quickly, while perennials take longer.
Factors Affecting Herb Growth
External factors like environment and climate impact the growth rates of herbs. Each type of herb has unique requirements.
Indoor Herb Gardening Requirements
Before growing indoor herbs, ensure plenty of light, well-drained soil, and an ideal location.
Fastest Growing Herbs
- Basil: Tops the list as the fastest-growing herb. Provide light to strengthen basil plants after germination.
- Sage: Also grows fast.
Fast-Growing Vegetables
- Radishes: One of the fastest-growing vegetables, ready in just 3-4 weeks.
Harvesting Herbs
When harvesting perennials, clip often during the active season for a year-round home supply. Snip regularly to encourage growth and limit harvests to less than a third of the plant so it keeps producing.
