Make an Herbal Window Box

Let great scents waft in your home each time you open a window by growing herbs in your window boxes. This lovely example incorporates variegated sage, variegated thyme, Italian parsley, and sweet alyssum.

Enjoy Climbers

A scrambling cucumber is the star of this container creation. With its big leaves, bright flowers, and yummy fruits it’s a natural showstopper — especially when paired with an upright plant such as rosemary.

Provide Support

You can also give vines such as cucumber, beans, or peas an upright support such as this obelisk. By letting vines grow up, there’s space in the container to grow trailing plants such as nasturtium and fillers such as kale, signet marigolds, and eggplant.

Keep it Manageable

You may be able to get more plants than you think in a tight space. Here, just four pots provide a plethora of produce: cucumbers, rosemary, Swiss chard, tomatoes, kale, eggplants, basil, peppers, and more. Limit the number of varieties you grow to only what you can use to save time and effort.

Make them Handy

Place your containers where you will be able to access them easily. It might be right outside your kitchen door, next to the grill, or beside to your favorite bench or chair.

Add Art

Leave a little space in your containers forgarden decor. Here, a bentwood trellis adds color and interest to a planting of basil, parsley, and chives.
