Growing herbs from seed can be tedious, time-consuming, and often disappointing. It can take over a week for the seedlings to sprout, and they're super delicate for the first few months. And buying herbs that are already planted can be expensive — so why not make use of grocery store herbs? You can actually plant fresh herbs from the cuttings you get in the grocery store. Just soak the ends in water until the roots have started to grow, then transplant them to soil when they're strong enough.
