people are smart. no. 5

a few eaves troughs on the side of the garage, enough water run-off from the rain and you have a self-sustaining herb garden. bonus points if you install a rain barrel in back to supplement the watering. (ours is currently waiting patiently for the big thaw). also on our list for spring... adding a drip hose to our line of evergreens. (we have a leaky hose, supplemented by a dog attack and a truck running it over, all ready.) now, if it would just be spring. or snow. anything but this nasty coldness.

  1. This is one of the best gardening solutions I've seen in a long time! I've been following your blog (that always sounds so creepy) for a while and just realized, via your etsy shop, that we live so close to each other! I live in Plymouth and we are practically neighbors. Thanks for your awesome blog :)

  2. oh i can't wait for spring. i'm so glad you enjoyed this too. (brittany, very nice to meet a near neighbor. funny how you find someone so close, even on the all-encompassing internet! makes the world seem a little cozier, i think.)
