This past summer was no different. So, I came up with a new idea for my garden. Pots!
I filled pots with a mix of composted horse manure and compost from our bins. Then I threw in flowers (sometimes edible, sometimes not), spare lettuce or kale or chard, herbs like parsley or basil, mulched with straw, and set them out.
Ta-dah! Within moments my spare plants had a home, more salad was in future, and I'd expanded my garden space quite simply. Plus, the pots were easy to bring into the porch when the weather got chilly extending the season for fresh herbs quite some time. Hooray!
