Herb Box

Ryan and I have have a cozy roof top deck that's great to entertain on and gets ample sunlight, so a few succulent pots decorated the patio in no time! To ensure it didn't get too crowded, we added hanging herb boxes instead of having them on the ground.

Home Depot had everything to make this work--the planters are supported by the metal box that clips onto the balcony and no screws were needed to mount it.

We planted rosemary, lettuce, basil, parsley, fennel, and mint and they have made their appearances in a few dishes too!

Maybe we will plant some seasonal fruits and vegetables this spring!

Warmly,
Jamie

Trading up

To preface, most of my family gardens from succulents beds to English gardens to Mediterranean landscapes and I believe I have a green thumb as well!

I always have plants around the house and at work to help purify the air and they adds that je ne sais quoi to the space, but one of my house plants didn't do so well after I moved...

I swear it was the move, not my neglect! Luckily I bought this plant at Home Depot and if you save the receipt and it's in the same container, they will give you store credit for the dead plant! So my friend Fran and I meandered over to Home Depot and used the store credit towards a new indoor plant and container.

Currently this plant happily lives on my desk and I give it plenty of TLC, but I keep the Home Depot receipt in a safe place just in case....

Warmly,

Jamie
