DIY Patio Herb Garden with wine cork lables

Having the community garden has been great however when we're cooking dinner and need some fresh parsley I thought it would be handy to have some growing at home. My patio doesn't have much room after the table, chairs, bench and BBQ. After scrolling around on Pintrest I found a  number of ways to use the space you have and I decided on Soup can planters (I decided to use Chick Pea cans instead as their a little bigger).

I used a hammer and nail to make drainage holes at the bottom then I put two holes on the side then used natural Burlap string to tie them to the railing. I couldn't decide on how to lable my herbs as there are so many creative was but then I looked above our cabinents at the giant vase we toss our wine corks into. I wrote the name of each herb and stuck it in the soil using a kebab stick and voila! I don't know why I was surprised but I couldn't believe how many red wine corks I had lying around!!

 

The Herb Garden box was a gift from my Brother Sean and his wife Stacey. I decided to keep the planters in them to have everything separate, also I found when I had it filled with dirt it wasn't getting enough drainage. also you want to keep your mint separate from your other herbs or it will just take over!
