Ordinary Wonderment

Today's Joy: Stacking Herbs.

Happy Saturday, Reader! Still had a few new herbs kicking around this morning when I got up, so decided to find them a fab new home (preferably one we can move indoors when the weather gets cold). Aunt had these unique stackable herb pots tucked under her potting bench. Evidently, when set up you water the top layer and the moisture trickles down through the lower layers and viola! Everybody gets a drink.

Anyway, I raided the compost pile for some nutrient-rich soil and got the whole thing potted in about 20 minutes. Now we'll have fresh basil, cilantro, rosemary and three different kinds of mint to add to salads, pasta dishes and fresh marinades. I believe the mint varieties include orange, chocolate and ginger mint. For more info on the stackable herb pots or where to find these and other interesting herb varieties, drop me a line.
