Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in Swahili. Please answer in Swahili.

### Instruction:
Gilbert grows herbs in his yard to use in his cooking. At the beginning of the spring, he planted three basil bushes, a parsley plant, and two kinds of mint. Halfway through spring, one of the basil plants dropped seeds from a flower and made an extra basil plant grow. However, a rabbit came by the garden near the end of spring and ate all the mint. How many herb plants did Gilbert have when spring ended?

### Response:
 Gilbert alipanda mimea 3 + 1 + 2 = <<3+1+2=6>>6 ya viungo.
Alipata mmea mmoja wa basil wakati mmoja wa mimea ya basil ilipotoa mbegu na kusababisha mmea mpya kukua, hivyo alikuwa na mimea 6 + 1 = <<6+1=7>>7.
Sungura alila mint zote, hivyo Gilbert alikuwa na mimea 7 - 2 = <<7-2=5>>5 ya viungo wakati msimu wa kuchipua ulipomalizika.
