Every Thursday this month I’m featuring some “golden oldie” garden posts from here at RedWhiteandGrew.com.

This week I’d like to remind you of a post by Joanna of Dirtiest Kid in the World. (She and her family left San Antonio for Austin since her guest post appeared here. Bummer!)

A herb spiral is a fun family project–and a spiral is a great way to keep delicious culinary herbs in easy reach. It’s hard to beat a fragrant bunch of herbs in your hands at twilight and on your table at dinner time. Plus, if you’re late putting in your garden this year (ahem, like me) then a herb spiral with a couple of potted tomato plants will give you a taste of the local terroir with minimal fuss.

Joanna’s tips on planting herb spirals is here. The post includes a link for how to make a spiral, too.
