    I finally got the bucket tower built and planted today

    Top bucket holds a variegated Oregano vulgare
    2nd down holds a Greek Oregano
    3rd down holds a Purple Sage
    4th down holds two Italian Parsley
    5th for now holds some Grape Hyacinth a friend gave me but will be planted with Chives this spring
    The bottom has two Dill plants.

    The little bucket hanging off the side has some mint.

    I am about to change my mind on one thing, I might eventually divide them and make two shorter towers.

    It's a whopping masterpiece, Toni. Why, you've got bucket loads of herbs there!

    Well done you.

    I really do like it.

    Love this. I don't have enough buckets to do something of this magnitude, but I have a large old gas can (basically looks like a bucket with a spout) that would make a fun addition. My herb garden is so far from my house, this would be a fun way to get some a little closer. (I promise I'm not lazy.)

    That's so cool Toni. Lots of herbs in an easily accessible and attractive structure.

    Great idea Toni! Next time I find some more buckets, I may just have to copy this. :stew2:
