There are twelve different ways to harvest the herbs:

  • 4 Snip the leaf stems
  • 5 Peel back the stem base
  • 6 Scrape off the stem pith
  • 7 Remove the Tap Root
  • 8 Pick out the seeds
  • 9 Crush the stems
  • 10 Pluck the leaves
  • 11 Squeeze out the sap
  • 12 Scrape away the leaf hairs

List of Herbs

Upload your image to the wiki and add a link like [[Image:Newherbs%24tagetese.jpg|thumb|256px|Tagetese]] in the third column. That will automatically resize the picture to a width of 256 pixels, independent of the size of the uploaded picture. Please turn off Time-of-day-lighting to make the images comparable, and drop a grass beside the herb before taking the shot to illustrate the size of the herb. See Help:Images for more information.

Don't add links to paysites like photobucket, this page is used very frequently and will very quickly use up your download capacity.
Please make sure the images you upload are from T4, and not recycled pictures from T3, as many of the colors have shifted dramatically
