For those of you who have been following for a while, you know that we are currently living in a rental house. It is weird going from owning your own home to living in a house that is not truly yours. And for self-proclaimed DIYers, it is extra weird to not be able to change a paint color, install a solar tube, add a back porch cover or build a garden bed. While I know this is a temporary setup as we get adjusted to our new city, I am really, really missing my garden right about now.
How spoiled I was before to be able to walk out my back door to grab a tomato, a pepper, chard, or a sprig of rosemary or basil. And while I am making the best out of it with my potted plants scattered all over the back porch, it is not quite the same. Many of my favorites just do not do well in pots.
I especially did not realize how much I relied on my herb plants in my cooking. I use them all the time! More specifically, I use basil, rosemary, parsley, chives and mint all the time. The mint and parsley are doing okay in their pots. The basil could go either way. And the rosemary and chives just flat out gave up. So I will try again until I get it right... or at least until we move.

What are y'all planting in your gardens this spring/summer? Any fabulous potted plant gardening tips you’d like to share with me?
