Exempt bushes and lashes of haricot from the overripe pods to give the chance to the further growth and fructification. Remove the ripened and overripe tomatoes, giving the chance to ripen to green fruits. Cut off salad which has given seeds to make room for the following crops. Collect seeds of fennel, parsley, cilantro and other aromatic herbs.
