Harvesting Tips:
Harvest regularly when plants are 10-12." If the plants get too tall, it gets fiberous and isn't mild and tender. Cut the outside leaves and leave a clump of small leaves in the center so it will keep producing. Or, you can just cut off all the leaves straight across and leave 1" above the ground if you have a lot of plants, it will grow back later. Just cut one plant at a time and within a week or two, the leaves will be large enough to cut again.
