Harvesting Herbs For Cooking
How do I harvest these herbs: mint, basil, parsley, rosemary, dill and chives? I do not know if I should just tear off leaves or cut off the stalks/stems. I want the basil etc for cooking but I want the plant to keep producing. They are on my patio in pots.

Planting Phlox in a Sunny Location
I transplanted some phlox 3 years ago to a northeasterly location. They get lots of hot afternoon sun from the south. They start out each year green and healthy and then start to turn brown at the ground level, eventually continuing up the entire stalk.

Tomato Plant Leaves Turning Black
In my greenhouse last year my tomatoes leaves went black and crispy. Now I have noticed the same is beginning to happen again. How can I stop this before I lose my plants? Would I need to disinfect the greenhouse?

Transplanting Orchids
I am looking for tips about transplanting orchids. Repotting orchids is really only necessary when the plant has outgrown its pot, or the growing medium needs refreshing.
