How to Harvest with the Master Gardener

Updated: September 18, 2012
Master Gardener Norm Knaub says it's not about size, but taste. He suggests harvesting your veggies when they're still young on the smaller side. In fact, Norm says some plants will stop production if they're bearing several large vegetables.
Clippers are a must for harvesting. They'll keep you from breaking stems and protect you from any thorns.
Timing varies between plants. While peppers will actaully get better the longer they grow, plants like broccoli should be harvested right away.
