Container Gardening- Bucket of Herbs

I love fresh herbs so much!! My hubby and I decided to plant a big metal bucket of fresh herbs today. We found the metal bucket at IFA Country store for some of our herbs and the others from Lowes.

Sage the St. Bernard was helping in the garden today…Sage is one of my daughters dogs living with us until they finish building their Townhouse. I thought it was appropriate to include her in the pictures today because of her name 🙂

Not only did we get our herbs planted but we also planted some tomatoes..one of which is a Chocolate cherry tomato!! I’ve never tried one before so we shall see how it tastes.

Here is our bucket of herbs on a stand in the corner of our garden. I love it because it is up high so I don’t have to bend over!

We simply poked a bunch of holes in the bottom so it can drain, layered it with small rocks, added soil and planted the herbs.

We planted Rosemary, two different kinds of basil, Pineapple sage, cilantro, Tarragon, Dill and Marjoram

I also planted some regular Sage in another smaller container. I love Sage on chicken and turkey.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
