mint/ cutting various herbs like mint, basil, rosemary


Question
i have 2 mint plant inside and they both have  mold looking stuff on the leaves, white-ish. it powdery too. can they be saved. second question, where do u cut the above herbs for cooking?

Answer
michele:
Put all plants outside. The mints need outside climate. The basil needs an eastern or southern exposure. Cut all plants from the top down by 1/3, every 3 weeks.Cut 1/4" above a pair of leaves. Leave at least 1 pair of leaves on the branch.Your mints should return next year when outdoors.
