Next year try growing from seeds -- it's really easy to do and any extra seeds stay viable for a couple of years. I start mine inside around mid to late January, and plant them out in late April. Other than light, water, and a little dilute fertilizer from time to time, you just need to give the seedlings a hair cut when they get to tall and start flopping over. The trimmings can be used like chives.
