Wrought iron window boxes

There is nothing better than adding fresh herbs to a home cooked meal. You can truly taste the difference.

I used to go to my local farmers market to purchase fresh herbs every Friday afternoon. Then my friend told me how she purchased a couple wrought iron window boxes and planted her own herbs. She explained how the herbs just taste so much better when you plant them yourself. 

Besides the taste, they also cost a fraction of the price you pay at the farmers market. The seeds cost next to nothing. The most expensive part of growing your own herb garden is purchasing the dirt.

Like most people today, my friend had been on a budget, and the idea of planting her own herb garden sounded great. She did some research, and unless you have a fenced in area most people recommend that she purchase a few wrought iron window boxes. Thinking with the thrifty side of her brain, and not wanting to stretch her budget, she decided to cultivate a small area in her backyard. She chose an area that would get plenty of sunlight during the day.

It was a great, little area within weeks her herbs garden started to grew. That was until her herb garden turned into a salad bar, for all of the neighbor wildlife. So, much for trying to get away with planting a herb garden without having to purchase any wrought iron window boxes. She felt that this was a lesson well learned. The next time she asked for advice she promised she would try harder to follow it.

Since she was determined to have her herb garden, she now had to go out, and re-purchase all the items she needed to start a second herb garden. The very next weekend she went to her local garden center, and purchased two different wrought iron window boxes, more dirt, and more seeds.

Planting the herb garden in window boxes turned out to be a quick and easy process. She did not have to worry about cultivating her yard, nor did she have to purchase as much dirt. She is now wondering why she just did not do this in the first place. However, she plans to continue to water her salad bar outside. That is the least she can do for the neighborhood wildlife.
