    Thanks that could save me a lot of money until my own home-grown ones are ready!:D

    I just snip off what I want to use and leave an inch of the white bit with the roots on and stick that into a pot of compost/soil by the window sill. Keep it watered and let it grow back the green bits :D you'll be amazed how fast they grow! :p

    Ooh! I'll give that a try, great idea. Maybe if you put a few into a pot you could just keep snipping the the tops like with salad leaves? I've got a tray of very fine seedlings coming up at the moment which look more like fine grass. Wish me luck!:D

    I agree with the late night shop as often you can get some bargains if you catch it at the right time.Herbs are so easy to grow though,even on a window ledge and well worth the effort.Who can remember growing mustard and cress as a child on some cotton wool on the window ledge :)

    Just out of interest, you can also do that with celery, it will grow again.
