Improving our kitchen terrace with a Herb Garden

What a blessing to have a terrace or a garden in the city...

Francis Bacon' essay on Gardens (picture taken in Villa Augustus)


At the end of March we went to an organic garden shop and bought a raised garden kit to install on our kitchen terrace.


Plenty of fresh herbs : rosemary, laurel, dill, sage, marjoram, chives, flat parsley, thyme and tarragon.


And two mini salads.


One month later....


May 13, our two salads will be ready to eat soon I guess.


Mini tomatoes - Strawberries - Curry that looks like rosemay but smells very indian - Chives blossoming with purple flowers.


Today's look.

We still got a paint job to do here, put some white on the walls, add a colored wall and shelves to put those pots on so we can have breakfast on the little table.... More pictures will follow when works are done :-)
Have a nice Thursday afternoon all x


PS : At first we thought of turning a palette into a garden / herb garden, but we finally chose the easy, faster option... but I still love this idea of using a palette for a garden. Click on the pic above for more info on that.
