Hanging Herb Garden

A few posts ago, I mentioned starting a few DIY projects for the summer. I have only attempted some easy DIY projects in the past, because I am terrified of completely messing the item up. So I am going to take baby steps, and work my way to my ultimate project; turning the coffee table into an ottoman. I know I can do it, I think I am just not ready yet. So I hung my herbs instead.

I took an empty mason jar..
...covered the bottom in rocks...
...added a little soil and the herb [I chose rosemary and basil]...
Target: Dollar Spot
...wrapped, tied and wrapped again...
...and hung the herbs from the pre-installed hooks on our apartment porch. I triple knotted the rope to ensure it doesn't loosen and fall. That would be so bad, considering we live on the third floor.

Summer DIY Projects

The weekend was quite relaxing. On Friday, I went to Cuisine Malaysia for dinner with Marisa. The food was amazing! We later went to her place for wine, and to continue catching up. It was long overdue and wonderful! [Have fun in Europe girl!] Saturday evening, Sean and I saw Jurassic World. We loved it! The film was exciting and engaging; never a dull moment. I would definitely recommend seeing it soon!

I'm planning on doing some DIY projects this summer, and thinking of starting a garden. If anyone has any suggestions or advice for growing plants on a 3rd floor apartment patio, please let me know!

A small peak into what's to come:
