Right off my back porch, I have a little herb garden. I am always puttering around
there because I love to nurture the fragrant herbs and snip them for recipes.
Although I have a potting shed, I also wanted a spot to keep some essentials close
by and to provide a backdrop for the herb garden.
So I have created a potting bench from a .... (it's a surprize), but I am only going to
give you a sneak peak today. As you can see ...
my creation started with a thrift shop find and then just kept on growing.
Woops ~ bad pun. Why do I do that? Can't really help it, I am the
queen of bad puns. Anyway, the weather here has been really rainy, so I have
to step out for pics between the raindrops.
But ...
Tomorrow I will (hopefully) be taking lots of pics to show you all my whole
herb garden ~ potting bench and all. In the meantime, check out that
Arugula in the basket. I'll be snipping that off for a salad with cannellini beans
and chopped shallots tossed with a vinaigrette. Yummo!
So until tomorrow ~ stop by and visit ~
and
Bentley has dirty paws. He has been racing through the garden beds
chasing the squirrels. Maybe we need an outdoor shower!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Sounds exciting!

I can't wait to see your potting bench. I love what you have shown us so far. I am so excited ~ I love potting benches. Your arugula looks just yummy ~ Bentley stay out of the garden for your mommy ~ only when it rains. It must be much easier to bath Bentley than Chessie ;-)

Have a lovely week. And I'm praying for your mother too. I read that as well.

Hi Susan, for about half a second, I entertained thoughts of buying herb plants while at the nursery today. It sounds like fun, until I remember the efforts one must take. Hope you join Linky for those of us on it now. I know others would also enjoy following you on Linky. Thanks, Helen
ReplyDeleteHerbs are lovely and great for cooking. Wanting to see the potting bench.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great time of year.
Hi Susan and Bentley Sweeties...
ReplyDeleteOh your herbs and plants look so lush and happy. You do have a green thumb sweetie. I have never tried herbs but maybe it is about time I gave it a try.
I can't wait to come back and take a closer look at your treasure that you have created with such love. Potting bench come on down...
Hope you and Bentley have a glorious day tomorrow. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
