Looks great! I never had much luck with dill indoors. They usually dry out.
Today's harvest

I harvested a bunch of that kale, and more leaf lettuce today, and finally pulled out the dill, 2 bok choy plants, and trimmed back the basils. I might put in more cilantro in the empty spots, or another bok choy in one spot, since it grows fast. I have that mustard greens plant almost overgrown, but I'll wait a couple days to get that.

This time it was those wasabina mustard greens from the hydroponics, to use in that bean soup. Even after harvesting all that, well over half of it was left, and a bunch of new growth, on just that one plant.

Yesterday, I harvested some of my spearmint, to make my first mint tea of the season. Just a bunch of 3-4" stalks - not a lot of flavor, at first, but I always look forward to starting to get that mint! And soon, I'll have enough of the peppermint, to start using in Indian dishes.

Wife did a final pick of our garden.
Few frilly bright green lettuce leaves, cilantro and basil.
She was a step ahead of as she knew I was making thai salad for family dinner last night
She bought a bag of mixed salad a cucumber and shoots etc. Along with cherry tomatoes.
Cucumber was cut into batons and d.i.l bought a cooked chicken. I made a dressing to suit.
Roasted potatoes with turmeric.
Meal went down a treat.
Nothing left so it was a success.

Oh man, I was out looking at my spearmint. All the stems from last year are hard sticks and I couldn't break them off. I need to go out with the pruners and clear them out. My spearmint is barely showing any tiny bit of green.Yesterday, I harvested some of my spearmint, to make my first mint tea of the season.

I always let my mint die off in the fall, then weedwack it level with the ground, after removing the driplines. This way, I'm not fighting with any of those old plants, when the new plants show up. I'm already getting 6-7" plants!

I usually do remove them but somehow I forgot and now they are a bigger pain to remove. It's good to hear how you do it.
