Normally I store my fresh herbs with its packaging in the fridge box. Though they lasted for nearly 2 weeks, they always look wilted and lifeless.
I read some good ideas on storing fresh herbs at Elise blog and decided to try her method.
Here’s a before look at my rosemary and thyme.
Here’s how they look few hours later.
See… so fresh eh? They look like I’ve just pluck them from my ‘imaginary’ garden. 
I placed them in water containers beside the window. Unfortunately they lasted for more than a week only. Maybe it’s the heat.
Next time I will store them in the fridge together with the water container.
Coincidently few days back I have some coriander. So I place the coriander in a water container and store in the fridge. Then I take a plastic bag and cover the coriander with it.
I’ve removed the plastic bag in this picture.
It thrives beautifully. So green. So fresh. Yum-yum!

Dawn, wuah you got seed ar…cool.
Bengbeng, you’re welcome.
Keeyit, indeed water is magic. They’re herbs usually use in English cooking like pasta, roast chicken, etc. They smell really wonderful especially rosemary.
