One of the goals for me this season, is to cut the herbs off before the seed, or flower or whatever and they become unmanageable. If I have to food process them into a pesto in freeze, dry them or compost them or feed them to the chickens, I will. It will keep them growing back with a vengeance and hopefully yield more in the long run.
With this plan, I cut off the cilantro and the dill. The dill was already starting to seed good grief! But the dill had no fragrance or taste being so early so I composted it. The Cilantro however, dries beautifully. I'll be cutting off the oregano probably this weekend as soon as the robins hatch as I don't want to spook the Mom in this cool weather.
