I've found they rot rather quickly here.
But tearing them apart is a very good suggestion.
Perhaps I'll experiment and see.

Cave, Thanks for the tip on Cumin but I plan on putting them in the ground long before it would be considered transplanting. I'll get them going in a biodegradable 2x2 pot and then put them outside for Ma. to deal with
Oh yes, I'm asking for the sordid details.
I bought a coriander seedling one year. It had made loads of seeds that I collected. I used them - I didn't save any for planting. It had dropped enough seeds on the surrounding soil that I had volunteer coriander for a few years.
I planted parsley and it comes back. I think some of the seeds didn't sprout until the next year. Parsley is a biannual and I got both kinds last year.That's the easy way---- let Mother Nature do all the work for you!
Go ahead and start some inside. Can't hurt to get a head start and they can easily be moved outside.
I vote for do both inside and outside. That way you'll see if you can have year round fresh Basil.
