Sorry, moving on.
My grandma gets several monthly magazine subscriptions that she reads and passes down to me. Well, I forgot the best part. When she's reading them she tears out any page that is an ad front and back. So when I get them it is just article, article. It's a whole new world. A world I can't believe I didn't live in for many many years.
You all should try it.
Visit my wonderful world.
Anyway...
I found something in Martha Stewart Living that I knew I needed. I even knew I could make it. I don't often feel that way since most of the projects in there are too expensive and the recipe ingredients are things I can't even pronounce.
But this, I can do.
I started by going through the storage area right outside the kitchen. Pulling pots and hoping to find enough dirt that I wouldn't have to buy some.
Looks promising. Luckily I had plastic pots to use as the stands so I didn't have to waste any of the terra cotta ones that I use around the pool.Not bad. Can I also say that I worked up quite a sweat and burned some serious calories moving all of those.
After a quick run to Home Depot..and somewhere else...I had everything I needed.
And here it is! I bought Flat Leaf Parsley, Basil, Oregano, Cilantro, Rosemary, Chives, and Thyme. I use the parsley the most so it went on the top. More growing room. I put it right outside the kitchen window so we can enjoy it from inside as well as out. And can I just say, it smells terrific outside my back door! My old herb garden was right behind the diving board and it took a lot of abuse. It also was a long walk when I had something already cooking on the stove!
And, if you don't mind me saying, I'm pretty proud of it.So, now I need some more recipes for dishes with fresh herbs. I have some favorites would like some new ones. Anyone want to pass along some tried and true ones?

I did this a few years ago. And I ran a stick down the center of the pots to steady them. I put flowers in the pots. Casacading petunias and some really nice smelling plant in the top one, a can't remember the name of it...rose gerainium.It was nice... I wish I had tended to it better. My pots have since broken up...it doesn't help when the hubs shoots in their direction.
Good Luck with it and I can't wait to see it all grown out.
That is a wonderful idea! I'd love to try it.
I think I might have to try this! (After I get through the next couple of weeks!) My flight is non-stop to Austin! One of these days I'll get through OKC! Hope your training is going well!
