This was my herb garden several years ago.
Someone threw out a bookcase
which I immediate grabbed
seeing its potential as
a splendid container garden.
I am looking forward to
planting another garden this year.
I bought my first herb already.
Lemon Thyme.
She sits in the sunny window
dreaming of warm weather
and having her roots
sink deeply
in the Earth.
I have some other herbs
from last year that will return
in the warmer weather.
Thyme, Greek oregano, sage, several mints.
I'm amazed that the rosemary
is still standing and is still green.
Maybe she'll actually make it through this cold snap?
Let's hope!
Last Winter was so mild, she thrived.
A bookcase as a container garden is so clever! In Sedona a great many of our gardens were, by necessity, container gardens. But we still mostly grew peppers and squash!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the rosemary withstands whatever is left of our winter!
I gardened in containers for years, so my eyes are always looking at things with that in mind! This bookcase was perfect for the herbs and other things I planted. It was like a large raised bed - no kneeling on the ground, easy on the back and very utilitarian!
