Pot of Herb(s)

I got this idea from Martha.  Follow the link to get to her instructions.

Basically I saw this picture and ran with it.

I discovered that five pots of all these different sizes is actually quite expensive.  We only got three (but the same concept applies).

I made a pot of herbs just outside my kitchen door.  Now I just step outside for a nice addition to my cooking.  The herbs have to grow in a little, but they will, I have faith.

Gather your supplies (and the pots of course).

 

I layered the first two pots.  It took surprisingly little soil (we bought way too much). 

Then stacked the third pot on top.  I added some rocks for good drainage. 

Add the herbs (make sure to break up the roots a little to help them grow). 

Plant the herbs, and water.  That's it. 

Then, sit back and enjoy the fresh herbs.  I planted rosemary (that went on the top because it spreads), basil, cilantro, thyme, and oregano.  I love the rosemary in my omelets, basil in everything, cilantro in salsa, and oregano is good on chicken.  Yum, nothing tastes quite like fresh herbs when you are cooking.  They are one great aspect of summer weather for sure (I can never keep them going in the winter). 

I have some more herbs planted on the berm...I just hope the rabbit doesn't get to them.
