a couple of weeks ago i ran to the grocery store to grab a few ingredients for a pasta dish i was making. i was reminded – as i was holding the last sad and wimpy two-dollar bunch of fresh basil in my hands – how an herb garden or pot can save you time and money. for about the same amount of cash i was able to buy a big pot of fresh basil and plant it in a big pot in my backyard… but this $2. 99 is the gift that keeps on giving. you don’t need much to make an herb garden or herb pot happen. you just need two square feet of patio or deck space and most of us have a big pot or two sitting idle in the back of the shed. now we can put this empty pot to work! add some dirt or potting soil then plant your favorite herbs. i planted a gob of basil some parsley and some sage for less than $10. you can start using them in your cooking immediately!
how can i save time and money with a pot of herbs?
