My Little Herb Garden

As the weather warms up, many of us are thinking about planting flowers or vegetables. Are you planting?  I don't plant many vegetables except for tomatoes, but I do like my herbs.

Do you like fresh herbs? I love being able to go outside and get fresh herbs to cook with.
It seems as though some of the herbs last for years while others have a much shorter life span. I have had my rosemary and chive plants for years now, while parsley and basil only seem to last for a year. We don't have cold weather here in southern Florida, so that's not the problem. It's probably me!

I have a great place on my deck for my herb garden.  It is right outside my great room; it is protected from the afternoon sun, which can be pretty hot this time of year.

I planted some basil, parsley, cilantro, and rosemary and thyme. I added some decorative pieces to the arrangement.

These blue and green metal pails are so cute and what a find at 25 cents each. They didn't look like this when I bought them, but I will save that for another post.

I love the wrought iron. When my neighbor moved, I got it for $5. It is so heavy and even folds up. 

Well, my herb garden is ready for the summer and cooking. Have you planted anything yet? I would love to hear about your gardens.
