Basil from cuttings

Last week I purchased a small basil plant from the supermarket. The intention of the market is that I use up the basil and buy more...
However, anyone with a little time and a little space can take a little potted herb and make a garden full of plants from it! I started 2 cuttings immediately. How? Simply snip a stem, pop it into a glass of water, and place it in a warm and sunny spot (like a windowsill). Keep the water filled, and after a week or so you will notice wee roots growing. At that point, you can gently place the new plant into a pot of soil. (I prefer to put the "babies" in pots even if I will eventually place them out in the garden - its a good intermediary step to help them gain strength).
Its so easy!
