Here are some photos of the plants Annie and I started growing. Check out the set up.
The base is layed with a plastic mesh/grid and large rocks to encourage proper water drainage.
Potting soil is added.
Then the plants are… well, planted.
We’re growing a bunch of stuff (some purchased, some grown from seed, and some cultured). We have mint, thyme, chamomile, rosemary, lavender, lemon grass, thai basil, regular basil, thai chili pepper, red cherry pepper, and a bunch of spider plants.
You forgot sage.
 ah! yes! sage. totally forgot.
