Cut and come again vegetables

Cut and come again harvesting means taking usable growth from suitable plants while leaving enough of the plant to continue growing. It can be useful when you want repeated harvests from limited space.

This method is commonly associated with certain leafy vegetables and herbs. Harvest technique varies by plant, so learn the needs of the specific crop before cutting.
