About a week ago, Alice planted three hydroponic jars and put them on the kitchen window sill - and lo! Herbie shoots! These are basil; next door to them are cilantro and mint. The cilantro is a true act of love on Alice's plant, since she loathes the stuff. These are also a well-chosen selection, since outdoors, sage and thyme - and maybe a bit of parsley - seem determined to try and grow through the winter (the temperatures later this week might dissuade them ...). It's very exciting seeing them germinate and grow: this seems much speedier than planting them outside in the early summer.
