Cucumber is OK, but it has very little nutritional value, and is more of a "filler." Definately not something a res can live off of.

Yes, the basil and cucumber is OK (none of my turtles will touch cucumber---I don't think they like the smell). Skip the other foods and seasonings.

Garlic and onion are both poisonous for turtles. They cause severe GI problems, as a result of the toxins in them. Menthol is an organic compound used in flavoring, not a plant. It can be derived from peppermint, but it is a crystaline solid. Iam unsure on the dill, but Basil is good and cukes are ok occasionally.
