Last summer I got fed up with the basil I bought at the supermarket, it always died before I had eaten half of it. So I decided to simply just cut it and put in water - and discovered the basil lasts so much longer AND starts to grow roots. Did the same thing a few days ago and there are already roots. In a few days I will plant the basil in pots and hopefully soon have a kitchen filled with basil plants. Fingers crossed :)
