One of the first things I noticed, and loved about this house was the amazing gardening window. I had been wanting to start a herb garden for a really long time and when I saw this window I knew it was meant to be!
When we had a bunch of Mason Jars given to us from a wedding I decided that they would be the perfect for the herb garden. I replanted a basil, rosemary and aloe plant but I also planted some basil, rosemary, parsley, cilantro and mexican sunflower seeds.
The only problem I have had is that there are no holes in the bottom of the jar for water to drain out. The gardening expert I talked to suggested putting packaging peanuts in the bottom of the jars to help soak up extra water. I think I’ve over-watered the parsley unfortunately but the rosemary and basil are doing well.
I made these plant markers from a tutorial I found on pinterest over at wit & whistle
If any of you have advice on keeping a window herb garden alive through the winter I would love to hear it, I’ve heard that this is possible and I would love to keep my herbs alive through winter! I have lots of recipe using my herbs coming up over the next few weeks 
As always, feel free to ask any questions or comment below!
I put marble in the the bottom fifth of my mason jar then put the soil and herbs on top. Now the excess water has a place to drain without molding up the soil
I was wondering if you did anything with that window. i would put some oragano . when i used to do all that i would use broken clay pottery to keep roots from over watering . you are doing so good with everything good job
