Herb Garden

Well it has been awhile since my last post. Sometimes I let all the projects in my head over run me but this time I actually finished one. I had decided that the empty holes under the window sill would be a great spot for some planter boxes. Problem is I am horrible at working with wood. Enter Ryan from Captured Craft and Design. After a few nights we had new planter boxes built, painted and ready for dirt. Now the question is what to put in it? First I knew I had to have tomatoes in it, I love the taste of fresh tomatoes off the vine in the summer sun. I also have had good luck growing basil in the past. Thyme is a good herb to go with wild game so that was high on the list as well as rosemary, cilantro, oregano and parsley. I also threw in some stevia and a few citronella plants to help keep the mosquitoes away. We added some solar lights and a few hundred lady bugs and we are ready to go.The boxes really look great and we have really enjoyed having the fresh herbs to cook with, it really makes a difference.
