• Sowing and planting: sow in shallow rows or trays, then transplant when seedlings show a few true leaves. Space plants to allow air circulation and prevent diseases.
• Harvesting and preservation: pick leaves from the main stem to encourage sustained growth. To preserve color and aroma, harvest early in the morning and use quickly or freeze/dry fresh herbs.
