    Yes, it does sound as if the seedlings are damping off. The above article will help with that.

    Thank you . I looked up both of these and think it may be damping off. I will start again and not overwater.

    Could it be "damping off" or cutworms?

    Only a few herbs are invasive and these would be mint and lemon balm. The rest are well behaved. But you can grow them in pots or in the ground, whichever is more convenient for you. They do well in either place.

    Nikki is correct but keep in mind that once cilantro flowers it can and will reseed itself unless you pinch off the flowers.

    Basil, sage and thyme are ok in the same pot. I would put the cilantro in a pot of its own because it dies off quickly and needs to be replanted frequently.
