Bathtub Herb Garden!

Under a few trees up on the hill here on Belle Lea Acres there's a sink hole full of old stuff. Today was our first attempt to reuse something from it. After driving the farm truck up to the spot, we attached a chain and dragged out an old cast iron bathtub and drug it down a hill and up the gravel road to our soon to be herb garden. We suspect that the tub had come out of the old homestead, which burnt in the 1960s.

Below you'll see Erica and me toying with our new (to us) tub. We used river rock to balance the tub and will fill the bottom of the inside with more rocks. We will soon add some dirt and fill with herbs that eventually will make it into our dinners (or 'deeners'). It's not a finished project yet, but progress is being made!

Note: We need to get some more pictures of Linda here on the blog. She has been so good to take pictures and seldom gets her pretty face on the blog. We'll try to work on that...
