Garden Day Dreaming



Image: freegardenideas.com

When I perch at my desk, I often look out the window, beyond my landing, to the view of downtown Manhattan. Unfortunately, that view is quickly being obstructed by scafolding. Never one to let anything interfere with my day dreaming, I've started planning which plants I'd like to perch on that landing come spring. 

This summer I moved from a full sun apartment to partial shade. While many of my plants gracefully made the transition, a long and dry (Christmas vacation?) winter finally killed them off. My thyme soldiers on, but that's all I have left. 


In my day dream, I'll have built two tiered planters to attach to the railing. The top levels will host sage and oregano, and the lower tiers chives, parsley, and cilantro. Or perhaps I will be lucky enough to find a non-ugly version of this planter to the right (currently sold on Overstock.com. Did somebody say strawberries?


Sigh, back to January.... (or not: more dream foder)
