Isn’t this just way too cool? Thanks to my friend Nicole Wilford for sharing this one on Facebook. I would’ve missed it otherwise! Follow this link, Two Men and a Little Farm Blog, to show you how it’s done!
I hope you feel inspired by a few of these ideas. Some are old, but hopefully you’ve found a few that are new. They’re all easy to do, and will definitely be a feature in your fresh herb garden!
Are you ready to start planting?

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! So many amazing ways to store your herbs. I have a couple of old tins I don’t have a use for so I think this will be the best idea yet!
Oh my – it is spring I am on my way – your blog came just in time to make me feel good again, Love
Yay! Here comes spring & summer! I thought quite a few of these were great ideas to try. Love them in the baskets and crates. I liked the look in the mason jars too. Great ideas Sheila! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve never grown herbs. One of my SIL’s grows an herb garden and these are some great ideas to do so in a fun way. I love the herbs grown in the baskets.
Spring is in the air! Thanks for reminding me I want to have an herb planter on my balcony this summer! Maybe I’ll give them a front row seat!
Nothing beats growing your own herbs! It’s so liberating going out to take a snip of mint or rosemary or whatever to throw into your recipe. Then you have the yummy scent left on your hand afterwards. These container ideas are adorable.
Something for everyone here. Excellent ideas for Mother’s Day, Easter or Father’s Day gifts.
