Not sure how I missed your pics of your "garden" but just saw them this morning. That's awesome and those wooden containers are the bomb. Good idea on the plastic Mason jars too. Errthang looked so healthy. I really look forward to seeing your Osmin basil, they should be popping up by now or soon.

I tried all that for several years and it just became to much trouble. The sun here is so hard on a lot of that stuff and moving it around got old. I still have some herbs, but that's it.

Nice job!

My father in law got scolded by the security guard at their condo place for catching and keeping sand dollars😂

Oh, I understand that but imagine some dork with a flashlight patrolling a condo acting tough.

Still no osmin as of this morning....it should be soon...Those containers are resin, but yeah everybody thinks they're wood....they look good, but I like the fact that I can leave them outside all year and no signs of wear/damage...you probably couldn't get by with that in the heat down your way....we also use those plastic mason jars when we put up sage, oregano, and basil....little cheapo plastic screw on lid....very light....those are great

Haha, I see Joes family finding live sand dollars at the beach, bringing them back to the condo and laying them out in the parking lot bleaching and cleaning them. Over zealous condo security drives by on his golf cart and explains how serious that is.

That what I see happened. Been there and acted stupid. Lol.

Here is that pineapple sage I said in another thread somewhere was taking over. Both these were maybe 4" when transplanted...reg sage on right in that planter20200620_122849.jpg

I dried this sage below yesterday....hopefully will get a pint...it was thick

These are some basil and oregano in random pots. We'll be grinding sage and oregano tonight, I hope, if it's dehydrated enough.

Cool, everything looks good. Oregano has bolted big time, you don't cut them back? I really like growing oregano in containers, the do excellent and look even better.

I usually cut them back better, but you're correct I hadn't cut those back. That really hurts the flavor, too.
Edit: And that can happen pretty quickly when they bolt. I think both of those are Italian.
