I am not using a template because these herbs will get moved around a lot.
I have dill, Genovese basil, curly parsley, thyme, chives, and seasoning celery, also called cutting celery. It is mostly just intense celery flavored leaves without the stalks. I love it dried and crumbled in cooking!
I do not use much dill so as soon as it starts getting big, I plan to harvest it to give the others more room.

I haven't hear of cutting celery before. Where do you get the seeds from?

Oh seconded on the cutting celery question, that sounds like a really interesting plant to try out!

@zyphax and maskedsonnet, here's a picture of the packet so you can see what it looks like.

As expected, the Genovese basil is first.

The seasoning celery's tiny little leaves are visible way down in the pod.
And there were 5 healthy basil seedlings in one pod -- 3 large and 2 small. Since I'm not wild about dill, I took the dill seeds out of that pod and transplanted another basil. Then, since I have rosemary and thyme overwintered outdoors, I put another basil in the thyme pod.
I will move them when they get bigger.
I couldn't bear to throw away the two remaining baby basils.
So I ate them!

I topped tha basils. It's funny how differently they all are growing.
I've never grown seasoning celery before, so I don't know how they are supposed to look. But they are tiny!
The chive seeds must not have been good. I would have expected signs of life by now.
And the curly pursley is always slow. I hope it makes it.

Update time!
My basil were growing long and leggy, so I cut them all back to force them to bush out.
The curly parsley is up. The chive seeds were duds. I will have to restart them.
And I'm not sure whether to thin the seasoning celery to one plant, or not.

The seasoning celery looks like it grows like thyme. If so I would leave it. Then again I never saw it before so I do not know.

The curly parsley continues to grow.
I cut one of the long, leggy seasonong celery branches off, and now I can see little celery shaped leaves growing.
I continue to be surpeised at the different sizes of the basil. I have already been snacking on them!
