Yes, and some of your herbs like basil can be cut off half way down a stem and put in a vase with water. It will root and the leaves will stay tender and new all year. For your herbs, at the end of the season pull up the whole plant roots dirt and all. Hang it with string upside down in your garage until dry. Harvest the dried herbs and put them in pretty jars and start your own apothecary.
True, I have two green onions sitting ontop of my microwave soaking in water/cut short, water bottle bottoms that I have been using for months for garnishing and adding to meals, I rotate between them, just trimming off the tops, they grow pretty quickly. Thinking now of maybe giving the basil a try like that, my basil plants are doing real well right now, be nice to have quick, clean snips at the cooking area.

I love that tip about the green onions. I'm trying it today. Thanks
