How My Garden Grows…

I have a most amazing husband… Today while I was off working he made me this for my garden!

I thought it was so great, and I feel so lucky to have someone who thinks of me and does special things for me! I wanted him to be my guest blogger, and tell you all how he made it, but he declined… he said you can all make it yourselves using the instructions he found on instructables. So I’ve linked to them here.

I’ve only had this for a few hours now, but I’ve already planted Thyme and Pepermint in the top two tiers! I think they’ll do well there- in the shade a bit. They don’t so much like the harsh soil, and harsher sun in the back garden.

I’d love to know if you make one of these yourself! What do you like to plant your herbs in?

    Oh how nice of him to do that for you !! I just love it. I’m thinking of doing something similar … but with only two post and full of flowers not herbs. I don’t need to do one with herbs because our new house came with a fully established herb garden !!! WOOO HOOOO !!!

    Lucky you!!! Can’t wait to see piccies!! Flowers will be lovely! Apparently it’s not too hard to do either!

    Maybe I should put some pretty little flowers down the bottom…

    This is such a wonderful idea! I have recently planted my herbs and some zucchini in just plan ol’ terra-cotta pots (although I did paint the smaller herb pots with chalk board paint to jazz those up a little). I think I will be copying your pots here in the near future with some rosemary and a few other things.

    Thanks! Rosemary would work well in it I think! Definitely post some photos on your blog when you’re done! I’d love to see it!!
