The deck is beginning to smell downright delightful. Planting herbs in pots on the deck was the best idea we’ve had. I love that they are visible from the house, deck and street. And, they really do smell yummy.
My favorites:
Sweet basil
Oregano
Cilantro
Mint (mojitos, here we come)
And, I love the look of the window boxes on the deck. They blend in quite nicely.
(Note: I picked up the little silver labels at Michael’s on clearance. I used my handy-dandy label maker – which I truly believe is a necessity in any household – to label the plants. Now, my silly self won’t grab parsley when I mean to grab cilantro.)
What’s your favorite herb to use in cooking?
Thank you. I’ve been looking for this data. Wonderful info I am going to return intended for facts linked to your soda and pop diet regime.
I don’t know how I missed this post but rest assured, I found it & I think it is brilliant!
Girl, you have a way w/ red! You had me at mojitos….. =]
your herbs look fantastic!!! good thing i don’t live next door, i’d steal them when you weren’t home 🙂 i wish basil grew in giant bushes, i could use pounds of it every day!
I love your plant tags! We have all of those herbs in pots too, but I love your idea of putting them in boxes off the deck. I might have to look into that myself!
