Herb Garden

I gardened! Well, kind of. It's a small step, but it's something.

I asked Shane for a simple garden box for my herbs for Mother's Day. I showed him a few simple ones I'd found on Pinterest, but he has a hard time with the word "simple"

He did a lot of it with fence posts. Then he added some kind of inner portion that kept the dirt contained and from actually touching the sides of the box.

I think it's pretty darling. 

I panted a piece of wood in Robin's Egg blue and had Shane cut them. 

I wrote on them with sharpie for my herb markers. 

Chives and mint are in separate containers since I like the drapey look of chives and mint kind of goes crazy if it's not contained. And I needed just one little yellow pop. 

I made the garden sign with an extra fence post and a bit of sample paint I had leftover. 

Stencils are from Hobby Lobby.

In other news, I finally found plants that will work nicely in our constantly shady front entryway.

We used these perennials:

June Plantain Lily

Fragrant Bouquet Plantain Lily

and Ralph Shugert Periwinkle

(All at Lowes)

Don't forget to put your flags out on Thursday for Flag Day!
