Well, it looks like wifey's planting of herb seeds was 102%
successful. We now have lots of basil, cilantro, etc. I know they
are best used fresh, but one can only use so much so fast. What's
the good way to preserve these?
TIA

Freeze or dry. The results will be a different flavour, coriander
(cilantro) doesn't have much going for it dried in my view.

The coriander, if not used fresh, is better left to go to seed and then
using the seed.
