To keep these taste-enhancing plants close at hand, I built a tiered planter that can sit on our patio right off the kitchen. It has a rather small footprint compared to the number of herbs it can hold, and as a bonus, it fills our sitting area with the fragrant smells of mint and lavender. “To build the planter I used rot-resistant cedar from the home center to create three frames that each house a store-bought planter box. I elevated the boxes with ladder-like sides, cascading their placement from back to front. If dinner turns out half as good as the planter holding the ingredients, I might be onto something—or calling for a pizza, we’ll just have to wait and see.” For a cut list and steps go to the This Old House website [https://ift.tt/3dO4NBZ].
