This wine crate thing really ended up being a labor of love (more on that later), but I'm pretty happy with it! Here's a top view:
Top row from left: flat leaf parsley and dill. Middle: Spanish lavender. Bottom from left: Italian large leaf basil and trailing rosemary. in the very back, I've got a plant nanny with a wine bottle (get it? in the wine crate? yay!). If it wasn't so functional -- I tend to be a neglectful gardener when I get busy -- then it might be overkill, but I suspect it will help keep my parsley and dill alive since they will probably require more moisture.
Right now, they're organized by current height, but ultimately, the basil will be quite tall, hopefully the rosemary will trail over the side, and in the long term, the lavender which is a perennial will grow bigger and bigger until hopefully taking over the whole box. Then I will have a wine box of lavender -- also wonderful :) For now, cheers to herbs!
