How often do you buy a bunch of herbs from the supermarket, use a sprig or two, and then waste the rest? Homegrown herbs are fresh and tasty, and you can add delicious flavour to a range of dishes in a flash.
They grow very well in pots, but have you considered using something other than a traditional pot? How about an old shoe or boot? Fill it with potting mix and plant a seedling or sow some seeds in it. Don’t forget to poke some holes into the sole for drainage, but what an innovative way to recycle and add interest to your garden?
If you have several old shoes, take an old shoe rack outside and create an interesting vertical garden full or beautiful or tasty plants. In case you don’t have an old shoe, go on an expedition to your local op shop and search for treasures.
To spread some love, plant a few bright flowers in boots and give your garden a lift. Best of all, allow guest to choose their own to take home as a fun an interesting present.
