Looking for "anticipated yields" for herbs?
Those will have wildly varying rate of production - and how you harvest can affect them.





ONE dill plant will get you about 1 ounce fresh, and less dried. You sow a LOT of seeds, and then you do that every 3 weeks - because it is a very short lived annual. Ditto with Cilantro.





Mint, any kind - there is almost no such thing as "one plant". It's a colony, and one that will nearly double in size every year.





Same with Oregano and marjoram. Chives aren't as vigorous at FIRST, but will eventually sprout up everywhere and you won't be rid of it.





Rosemary will not overwinter in cold places, so if you have to plant new each year, it will not yield nearly as much as one that has grown for years.





Garlic will give you about 1/4 to 1/3 pounh


d for each clove planted.
Reply:Fresh....figure about 1 lb. ea. Dried, about an ounce. Garlic is the exception.....one clove planted in the fall, will yield one bulb harvested the following summer
