Deeeeeeeeeeeebbie, I seen this, and thought of you right off.
Here is an idea for your herbs :)

Renee,
I love these ideas, I have thought of the pocket idea to try and the pallet idea, but I am going to be on the lookout for the cups. I was thinking why not use plastic cups? I think I can get them for a song at garage sales or the thrift store.
I like the idea of being able to move them if necessary. I was also thinking that if we had to go out of town for a few days I could take them down and set them in a container of water to wick up from the bottome so they wouldnt die.
Thanks for the link.
Cups would work :)
Which button, my blog link button?
I made it with paint shop pro, if you'd like one I can make ya one :)
Just let me know what you'd want for bg,and color.
Renee,
Yes, your blog button. Can you make me one with the pix of my house and 5th wheel?
Then I will put your button on my blog and you can put mine on yours.
That would be so nice of you.
