- It might work if you lop the tops off. Sometimes they'll grow new leaes and branches. - the liioulu with overtly curly hair Jul 10, 22:15 2
  - Yeah, can't hurt to try. You can always go to Home Depot, they are still selling herbs in 3 inch pots and bigger. - Bacon via droid Jul 10, 22:19 1
    - Do you have a Trader Joes? they have six inch pots for $3 with a half dozen plants, this is cheaper by half than the veggie mart for just the greens -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 10, 23:51
