My New Herb Garden

It was a brilliant day outside today, and I spent the morning adding some slats to the fence in our front yard. Our yard abuts a parking lot so we wanted to restrict the view of it a bit more. When I was done I had lots of scraps from the cedar planking. I was wondering if I should save it when I had an idea. My herb garden (struggling in the heat and being eaten by insects) was in two 30" planters just on the ground by the front steps. I decided to use a few old 2x4s from the garage and the trimmings from the fence slats and make a kind of table for them. In part because I just bought a nail gun, and enjoy playing with my new toy! The table is 18" deep and 31" wide. I bought some cedar legs but all the rest was scrap lumber. I'm no carpenter but I'm pleased with how it turned out. Now if I can just get my cilantro to grow....
