Herbs - Safely Trimming

Hi, everybody...

I am really new to this, so please bear with me...

I have started collecting herbs, parsley, coriander, etc. My undertanding is that I can keep these growing permanently, and just trim off a bit now and then for putting into dinner.

However, I am unsure about how much I can trim, while keeping the plants healthy.

Right now, I have them in 4-inch containers from the local store. Unless there are any other ideas, this weekend I will spread the individual plants/stems out a bit, and transfer them to 10- litre (2.5 gal) buckets.

Currently, the stems with leaves are up to about

10-inches.

Can I eat some now? Or should I wait for more growth?

Thanks for you help, and I love this NG!

Oh, oops... I should mention that I am in the Southern Hemisphere, so we are just now approaching springtime.

OK, thanks very much for your help!

I've transferred them to 10-litre buckets, and will do some research for the long-term prospects regarding seeds.
