Putting Down Roots

A couple of weeks ago, I brought a little handful of basil sprigs up from our terrace to add to that night's dinner.  I had more than I needed, so I just popped the extras into a glass of water, and then sort of forgot about them.  It wasn't long before I noticed little roots forming at the cut ends of the stems, and now they've really developed into a serious system!  Who knew I'd become an urban hydroponic "farmer"!
