Herbs in the house

My Aerogrow has been out of control lately, shooting herbs right up into its lights, but I'm always loath to waste any fresh produce in winter, so this morning I pruned the plants and then placed them in tiny bud vases. Not only is it nice to have a little green in the house, but I'm hoping the herbs stay healthy for the next few days so I can use them in my Christmas cooking.

 

I've also been working on propagating some rosemary cuttings I took off my mom's rosemary plant at Thanksgiving. I think the little baby plants are putting down roots, but I've been covering them with a plastic bag to keep them moist. Yesterday I was shopping and saw this vase in the floral section for $3! I turned it upside down over the plant and made a poor woman's cloche. Love it! Since using a cloche seems to be just about the only way I can keep any plants alive, I might be investing in more of these very soon.
