My Rosemary Pot Make Over


Since it's winter I had to bring my Rosemary and Basil in the house.

The Basil didn't like the move and died.
Darn it - I love my sweet Basil!

I've been staring at this pot for months and I hate it......



So what do you do..........?

Find some burlap in the shed..........




A little bit of good ole Elmers,

add a little string.......


Ahhhhhhhh 

More better!!!!




As a side note
Here in Colorado we have a saying,

"if you don't like the weather .....
wait a minute"

Friday it was 72 and today......
a whopping 14 below!!???

Jeeeezzzzzzz

I had to bring my old, man rooster in the mud room last night

No alarm clock needed this morning!!!!  
Wow is he loud!

  2. Hihih you write so witty. :)
    freezing that is. Here we have had the warmest January ever. But November was the coldest ever. Strange and awkward indeed..
    I have done just the same with pots also. My terracotta pots I use for pelargoniums in my greenhouse. But I have grown tires of the since they hold no water what so ever. So I think they form now on will be used as decoes only.
    Love that little washingboard?? you have on the wall beside the pot there. Lovely.

  3. I can never make my basil last either. But Rosemary is nice and easy. The burlap really adds a nice touch.

  9. Great idea! 14 below? That's pretty cold! Not nearly as cold where I am in the Northwest, but I took a walk today and by the time I came back, I could no longer feel my face... Stay warm!
