Keeping Basil Fresh!

I have always had trouble buying basil and having it last for more than a few days in the refrigerator... here is some basil that is over a week old! Just treat it like flowers and put it in water after trimming the stems. It will actually sprout roots after about a week!
good for people like me who can't grow fresh outside in the winter... but it smells great and I think I'll just do this all year round!

  2. never thought of growing my own basil in a window.. well, now.. I'd better start having one on my window. Basil makes a dish gourmet-ish.
