DIY Project #1 Summer 2010


Tim saw this on the Martha Stewart Website. We happened to be in the Lowes store trying to buy the terra cotta pots. While we were standing there stacking and inverting the pots, we were interrupted by another couple. The wife of this couple remarked - "Are you trying to make that Martha Stewart tiered herb garden?" Tim responded, "Why of course." The wife of the couple said - "We just made that - here let me help you." She started grabbing pots and putting it together for us. I just stood there with the wife's husband trying not to laugh or be embarrassed. Tim just looked up at me and smirked.

  2. Kristen,

    Unfortunately all of the pots are buried to the hilt in our garden shed. We still have so much snow on the ground and won't be pulling out the pots and yard furniture for another month or so yet. Memorial Day weekend is our official start date for warm weather but this year who knows? We went with the largest pot we could find for the base and then you have to remember that you have to buy pots for putting upside down inside the exposed pots. You just have to go to Lowes and play with the sizes available. Largest pot on the base, another pot that fits inside the bottom pot upside down and then gets surrounded by dirt. The second exposed pot which has to sit on the base of the submerged pot and same thing with the third tier. Hope that helps but as soon as we can pull the pots out of the shed, I will add the measurements we used on the posting.
