Planter big enough to grow produce for a variety of dishes

Mediterranean Planter from “The Balcony Gardener” (CICO Books, 2012)

This wooden window box can hold enough produce for a variety of delicious summer dishes. You will need the box, polystyrene “crocks” or small stones, potting mix, horticultural grit and plant food. Author Isabelle Palmer suggests a chili pepper plant, bush basil, curry plant, golden thyme, marjoram, oregano and purple basil. Grow a tomato plant in a separate large pot to complement the herb mixture. Place in location that will receive six to eight hours of sun per day.
