Herb Pot Covers

hello lovelies!  We were up super early (thanks, baby hughes!)  So, after breakfast I got up and started planting in the backyard.  I already have a mean blister and I still have the front yard to do.  And mulch.... we have to mulch this weekend.   And, I am putting together a mini herb garden in pots... here is what I came up with to cover them.





My parsley plant is small and sad so I will spare you.  I also made dill and rosemary.  And, I am listing them in my etsy shop, so if you love, love, love them they can be yours!

I am also planting some seeds that won't come up until next year... boo!  I like instant gratification.  Oh well, I will probably forget that I planted them and I will get a pretty surprise next year.  Just so you know... I am a very amateur gardener, but I have big dreams to become this:


How cute is she?  I will probably wear pants though and have a big floppy hat... where is her big floppy hat?  I wonder if she craves a margarita on the rocks with extra salt after a hard day in the garden?  I don't remember where I got this photo, but she is 89 and German.  She kind of reminds me how my sweet wonderful grandmother would have aged.  Except she was like 6 foot tall and this lady isn't.  
Oh how I miss her!  

Well, I am hoping the rain will hold off and we can make it to the Main Street Festival in Franklin or the Flea Market.  The house does need cleaning and the yard isn't going to mulch itself (see?  I already kind of sound like an older lady!)  Happy weekend everyone, hope it is beautiful!

  3. Love the herb bags - did you make them? I would love to be able to go up for Franklin's festival, but other things happen. My flower beds need some new mulch, but will wait til all the tree "sqiggles" stop falling.
    Enjoy your weekend.

  4. The little herb bags are so cute. I just hope that I can grow the ones that I planted. My garden needs serious help. I'll get to it soon. But first, I have to go thrifting and yardsailing!

  7. It looks as if you are already a good gardener, Michelle. Your little herb sacks are beautiful.
    I've been gardening for years and I still learn something new everyday. You just learn as you go along. I'm sure that it keeps you young and fit too. That German lady is wonderful for her age, isn't she ?
    Enjoy the garden this weekend. XXXX

  12. Hi Michelle,

    My dream is to become an old, eccentric gardening lady fool. Some people are afraid of getting old but I'm not! Getting old means you get "creative license" to do ANYTHING you like, it sounds like heaven to me!
