The sun has FINALLY made an appearance, the snow is all melted and you can almost get by without a jacket in the morning. It’s spring in New England. Which also means it is time for my hiatus to end. It has been quite the busy winter (more on the later) so I am excited to get outside and play in the dirt this summer.
Despite my lack of yard and somewhat small community garden plot, I am taking the urban apprach to finding more space – building up.
I forgot about this little high rise planter condo that I bought a few falls ago to spruce up my entry way (we filled it with gourds and stuck it in a bale of hay in the front hall) but came across it when cleaning out the basement recently. So now my rosemary plant is living the life of luxury in a high rise apartment. Here is a closeup of the new digs:
He doesn’t have any downstairs neighbors yet (its a pretty busy time at work so planting has taken a backseat), but I am thinking something along the lines of basil and thyme. I imagine each basket full and overflowing, maybe with a combo of herbs and flowers. What do you do to create extra space in your garden? What should I fill this guy up with?
