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.
