Growing herbs at your home is one of the most easy and rewarding part of gardening . Herbs are popular for adding distinct flavor to your food and are also packed with essential nutrients required by our body . Herbs can be grown through seeds and also easily through stem cuttings . Herbs such as Basil, Oregano, Thyme, Rosemary, peppermint and many others stem cuttings can be grown in water easily. .
Method of growing herbs in water
Pluck a stem from herb plant like a basil plant as shown in the below image and immerse the below part of stem in the water
After a couple of days we can observe the roots growing on the stem and this is the time for planting the stem in the soil mixture.
Meanwhile there is a continuous rain going on as an effect of Cyclone Tauktae in the country which turns out to be a rejuvenation for garden plants in hot summer days.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteWe have tried growing herbs, right now we only have mint growing. The periwinkle is a pretty bloom. I love your beautiful Kingfisher, wonderful photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend!
Kingfisher is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreetings and Salutations! I haven't seen a kingfisher in a long, long time now. I am a caretaker for my husband and we don't go fishing anymore. We used to see a kingfisher on the edge of Musky Bay. Adored seeing one only in a photograph this week. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely week end. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteThat Kingfisher is so cute...looks like he is smaller than the ones we have here. Love seeing the plants in water. I had a celery stalk in water for awhile and it looked pretty! lol
ReplyDeleteI have just planted many pots of herbs outside my backdoor. I use seeds and sometimes dry the herbs for the winter. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteSo cute
