Planting A Kitchen Herb Garden

I planted some of my favorite herbs seeds today.

In no particular photo order, here's how I did it....

1. I found a large metal tray on clearance from the Christmas decorations.  I painted over the brown and made it a grey and white with a distressed look to match my kitchen.
2. Bought 4 inexpensive plastic planters, poked holes through the bottom and added an inch of gravel for drainage.
3. Filled each with potting soil, added the seeds, and another 1/2 inch of soil.
4. Line the pots up in the tray.
5. For tags, I cut a thank you note I received in the mail this week into 1 inch strips.  Folding them in half and using hot glue, secured craft lollipop sticks into the fold and glued the open ends shut.  Label with marker.
6. Water each carefully as to not disturb the seeds and lightly cover with plastic wrap to hold in moisture.
7. In a week, I should have little sprouts!
