A few months ago Geoff and l bought this lovely old wooden water trough from our local online classifieds. (for $25!!!!!!) It's huge, solid and just gorgeous. We toyed with the idea of cleaning it up, putting it on its side (it's in two sections) and having it as a rather unusual cabinet on our veranda. But sanity stepped in and we knew full well we would NEVER get around to doing that!! So rather then it sit in the corner of the yard gathering dust l threw in a couple of bales of hay.....a truck load of horse manure and about 6 bags of potting mix and created a Summer herb garden.
Just for this Summer we have put it around the side of the house where our (one day) courtyard is going to be.
Sitting under our rapidly expanding Wisteria.
l had heaps of fun choosing the herbs to put in it. l was very strict with myself and only bought ones l knew l would use. So in went Parsley....
Oregano............
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Oregano again?????
Some sort of celery tasting herb.............. oh dear.........l have forgotten already!!!
Golden thyme??? Or was Thyme the one above the celery???
Lemon mint (l think!)
A bottle....ok ........so l put that there.............
And some interesting bits of wood .........
Cant wait for it all to grow now!!!
