That's a lot of herbs! I often try to get round to planting some of my own but inevitably I don't use them and run out of enthusiasm. Trying Coriander at the moment...
Belagerent-
I've never succeeded with coriander but my mother-in-law says it's easy, gonna give it one last try... Maybe cuz I've always tried to plant the bunches with rootballs that I buy at the supermarket? Apparently they're grown in very specific soil...
We've been eating a lot of leafy greens and the herbs just get turned into pesto if they're getting out of control, good way of pruning them back and making a quick and easy supper...
It helps that we've had a bumper crop of macadamias this year, down under style pesto!

I finally organised all our herbs/edibles into terracotta pots, gotta figure out where they're going to go in the garden now... Also planted a bunch of leafy vegetables in our rusty old ALDI planters, two types of kale, spinach, rocket, garlic shoots... I threw loads of worm castings in before sowing the kale seeds and they've sprouted in only a couple of days... Amazing result!
