Utensil Caddy Herb Garden

I don't know about you, but when I see a $2 treasure at Goodwill, I just can't leave it behind. (even though I could give a Hoarder lessons) :-) I turned my $2 Caddy into an Herb Garden. I added some chalkboard stakes and some cute burlap ribbon and flowers, and capped it off with a brown paper tag. Its the perfect centerpiece for my outdoor table on my porch!

    Where did you find the chalkboard stakes? Did you make them? How?

  • Amy Amy on Sep 16, 2019

    Did you just put in potting soil and the herbs?

    I have a utensil container I wanted to fill with herbs but it is a wired not solid like yours. Any ideas what to use to keep dirt from washing out? Thanks!

    Also my thyme and rosemary are taller than you are showing

    Different nutrients, exact plant sub-type, sun, and scads of variables determine how tall or bushy herbs grow. You get bushier plants that last longer if you harvest or prune before flowering.

    Put some fresh herbs in a salad, freeze or dry them, or if you don't have time to process them, toss them in a compost pile or bin. No compost pile? Just dig a small hole in any garden bed to compost the extra herbs in. No animals will bother the minicompost area and your plants will thank you.

    Rosemary and basel clippings look lovely in small glasses or vases on the table. We just snip off a few leaves from the table herbs as wanted to add to a salad, make a garnish, ... Let your imagination loose.
