Cut-and-come-again herbs such as basil or mint are not harvested once and finished; they give several cuts across a growing season. The useful question is therefore how many cuts fit in a season rather than when the first one lands. Enter the season start and end, the days until the first harvest and the interval between repeat cuts, and this page returns the season length, the harvest count and a dated list of every cut.
Season length is the gap between the two dates, and the count is one plus the remaining days divided by the repeat interval, rounded down. Both day figures are rounded up to whole days, and date addition rolls across month ends and leap days on its own. If the first harvest needs longer than the whole season the page prints both figures and withholds a result. Counts are capped at 200 and the table lists up to 60 rows.
Harvest timing per herb varies with variety and climate zone and is not published by an official source. The page therefore offers no herb list and asks for the first-harvest time and repeat interval directly; pinching technique and quality judgments are outside its scope. Current as of October 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use the figure on the seed packet or plant tag, or the days you counted yourself. Harvest timing per herb is not published by an official source, so the page will not assume one.
Arithmetically yes, which is why counts above 200 are blocked with a message. In practice the plant needs regrowth time, so the interval should reflect that.
No. Date addition rolls over month ends and February 29 by itself, so a season running through February 2028 still lands correctly.
