How do I know when to pick herbs?

I have started a small herb garden consisting of Basil, Cilantro, Rosemary and Chives. How do I know the right time to pick them for cooking?

I just keep picking what I want to use when cooking. This will stimulate the growth as well. When adding to your recipes add close to the end because fresh herbs shouldn't be cooked a long time.
