OH! I did make it outside this weekend!

I actually did do things outside this weekend. I took clippings of my spider plant that has proliferated every where and put them into a couple of clay pots. Putting those in my office soon. :)

And I made a spice pot for a bridal shower that is going on next weekend. I planted it yesterday before the rains came and I walked out this morning expecting everything to be dead. Instead, the plants looked healthier than they had when they were in their plastic containers. I am so proud. :) I didn't kill anything. So I had a grand idea in mind looking for a particular pot. I finally was able to find out that the pot I wanted, was a strawberry pot - go figure. :) Below is the image.

Instead of the strawberries you see poking out of the holes, I replaced it with Rosemary coming out of the top and smaller herbs in each of the holes.

I used Cilantro, Thyme, Sweet Basil, Cinnamon Basil, Parsely, and Peppermint in the holes. I was so proud of how it looked. Am going to go home tonight and take a pic of it if I can.

This wasn't a traditional bridal shower gift by any means, but then again, this wasn't a traditional anything. This shower is a) a surprise, b) the folks are actually already married. They got married in Hawaii and then told us afterwards. :) c) They have been together for years, so they have most everything. I thought this would be nice as a "wedding gift" more so than a bridal gift, but it works for both :). Anyway, I'll try to post a real pic as soon as I take one. Am quite proud of this. :)

Tangent:
So, I as I was searching for a picture of the pot I bought for the seasoning pot, I ran aross this. Go figure!! I might have to get a couple of these. Cool huh?

In case you haven't noticed, I am wild about herbs. I LOVE them. I am growing some in my kitchen along with Lettuce, Carrots, and Cucumbers for this year's summer garden. We'll see how we do. :)
