First bag: dill, mint, tarragon, chervil, parsley and spearmint hiding behind it.
The dill is a supermarket plant, and I just put it in there as an experiment to see if it would survive. Both mints are small right now, but I expect they'll try to take over the bag in a few more weeks.
Second bag: Lemon (or mint?*) thyme (it's hiding), sage, thyme and rosemary.
* A friend of mine is convinced it's mint thyme, but I'm not sure. It's so small because it suffered a drought in my windowsill a month ago 
The bags are IKEA bags that I've altered slightly. I got the idea after reading about these plant containers ( http://www.bacsac.fr/) - horribly expensive. The IKEA bags are free except for about an hours product development, and then one hour's work per bag.
I've probably too many plants per bag, so I might have to go to IKEA again  But right now it's still somewhat cool and only barely no night frosts, so I expect the bags will be enough at least until well into June. |
I love this, and I have about 5 or 6 ikea bags already! I'd love to plant a couple of tomato plants this way -- do you think that would work? I couldn't tell from the website exactly what kind of modifications I would need to make to the ikea bag -- could you tell me what you did? Genius!
