Harvesting methods vary depending on the type of herb. For instance, to gather several leaves at once, pinch the tip of the leafy annual herb basil. On the other hand, parsley, cilantro, and rosemary should be chopped off close to the bottom of the branch. Meanwhile, gather the oregano, sage, thyme, and tarragon sprigs by their stems.

Using a fork instead of your hands or a more awkward tool can make harvesting certain herbs easier. Harvesting is made easier by the precision of forks and their tines. If you need to dig up the roots, they can also help loosen the soil surrounding the plant.
