Install a simple drip system or a hand-head watering can with a wide spout. Water early in the day and mulch to reduce watering frequency while keeping roots cool.
Pick leaves in the morning, when flavors are most vibrant. Snip with clean scissors to encourage new growth. Preserve excess with simple drying or refrigeration.
