I wanted to share something different for those of you who might not have the greenest thumb or the ability to dig in a garden. This is my herb shelf on my deck with a few minty herbs, it's so easy and you can watch it grow by walking right out your door! My grandmother always grew mint usually by the spigot. We both shared a love for flowers. This blog is dedicated to Retha, my grandmother, I miss her so. In my herb book, mint is a symbol of hospitality. This is so fitting for my grandmother, she was the most hospitable woman I will ever know. I can't wait to try the recipes and enjoy a mint julep with my very own fresh mint from my minty herb shelf.
You will always be in my heart, grandma Retha!

Minty Herb Shelf..........
Sunday, May 18, 2014
I started my blog to stay busy through my grief, unemployment and empty nesting. I love making something beautiful again. "Sometimes you may not be picked to join the bouquet, so be your own single beauty". My words, and making the world beautiful one post at a time.

Oh I love this idea. What a great shelf and the herbs are fabulous. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a shelf of herbs. I may have to "steal" a bit of the idea. Can't have it on the deck cause it is covered.... BUT a simple shelf type system in one of gardens would be handy. I have a couple of metal stands I could use... hmmm... thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Deb... and a good way to keep those herbs contained. Mine go crazy in the garden!
