Herb Garden



I love cooking with fresh Herbs one reason is because of the wonderful aromas and also because they make your food taste so much better!  The problem is they are so expensive!  I needed Fresh parsley for a recipe so I bought a plant.  It cost me $2.99!
I decided to grow my own!  The problem here is, I have no window sills in my kitchen and no extra counter space to row herbs.   I asked my husband if there was a way he could build something that attached to the window that I could put my plants in.  Of course, he said we could come up with something.

 Later that day, my husband and I went to our local hardware store looking for other items and came across this Herb growing kit.  The kit included the wooden planter box, the dirt pellets, 4 seed packets and the disposable pots.  Perfect for what I wanted!

My husband had a strip of wood that he screwed into the window frame.  he then screwed in the hooks and hung the planter box.  I did the planting and WALLA!  This is perfect because the plants get the right amount of sun and they are up out of the way!  The whole kit cost me $9.99 and I get 4 plants plus left over seeds to start more! Also, once my plants have grown, they are handy right there in my kitchen, not outside.  I don't have to wait until spring to grow my Herbs, I can do it all year!

Also, I will save a ton of money growing my own!
