This is the best moment while growing your own vegetables, fruit or herbs. That is why it is important that this goes well, so that you can enjoy the yield of your vegetable garden. And if it happens that a free spot of soil has been created due to harvesting, you can sow or plant something new there. How do you know when to harvest? It is important that you know when it is time to harvest. If you start harvesting too early or too late, there is a chance that your yield will not taste as good. With some plants, the length determines whether it is harvest time. You can harvest arugula, lettuce and broccoli at a height of 10 centimetres, green beans at a length of 13 centimetres, basil and parsley at a height of 15 centimeters and endive at heads of 20 centimetres. How does it look? The length or height is not decisive for the harvest for all crops. There are also plants where you have to see what they look like to determine if you can harvest. You harvest peas when the pods are bulging. You have to knock on watermelons. If you then hear a hollow and dull sound, you can harvest. With onions, shallots and garlic, you can check whether the leaves are already turning yellow, then they are ready to harvest.
