# So, I was chopping off some Basil for cooking and dried half of it…

So, I was chopping off some Basil for cooking and dried half of it and kept half of it fresh by sticking it in water. Suddenly I noticed one of the chops had grown roots! 🤯 So this got me thinking: I have a hydroponics kit for kids and thought to take a go at it. More little roots grew and died back. But then I noticed the alive root were getting longer! Way to go Barcelona II!!
