Last week I took enough cilantro from my patch for cilantro rice, Thai rolls,
and garnishing fajitas, and it's come back so quickly I'll harvest some more
for a salad today.

Clipped enough dill on Sunday to season cucumber and onion salad. Not many
dill plants are coming up, though, so I reseeded the empty patches this
morning.

The plants that look like basil are growing well, but their lack of aroma and
flavor has me wondering. Mom told me to wait until the plants mature a little
more, but some of them are starting to flower, so ...?

Congrats on the bountiful herb garden! I used to grow basil and
remember reading that it loses flavour once it starts to flower.
I always tried to prune it / pick leaves before it got to that
state. This also has the advantage that your basil plant becomes
a bit bushier and gives you better yield :-)
