Herbs

Remember the starter plant of basil?  It has gone crazy and grown into a huge plant.  We cut a gallon bag full of basil on a weekly basis.  We make pesto regularly, give it to our neighbors or trade for their garden fresh herbs. 

We also wanted to grow Rosemary.  Our island connections have not come through. 

Van den Tweel, our local grocery store, sells a wide variety of fresh herbs.  They come from Kenya, Mexico, and Holland. I decided to take the fresh rosemary and put it in water in hopes of getting it to grow roots. Our local cream puff baker/supplier said that he tried it and it took two months to get it to root. He now has a spindly plant of rosemary.

So here goes. I have put grocery store cuttings into water with the hope that they root.
