Tower of Basil

So what do you do when you REAAALLLY love fresh herbs but you REAAALLLY don't want to plant them in the garden because they take a bit of space.  (Space that could be used to grow delicious veggies that bunnies and squirrels love to eat.  Argh.)

This is what you do:

I found something like this on Pinterest, only they did it with flowers.  I figured herbs would work just as well, and I was right.  From top to bottom I have chives, parsley, oregano, dill, and basil.  The mint has it's own pot because the dang seeds I originally planted (where the dill is) never germinated, so I just bought a start instead.  Totally worth it because I love fresh mint.

We like to call it the tower of basil.  Even though you can't quite see it in the picture, it's a bit lopsided and leaning, so perhaps it should be the leaning tower of basil.

Whatever you call it, I like it.  I like it a lot.
