Nothing gives me more pleasure than chopping up herbs. It is relaxing to me. It makes me feel like a chef. Most importantly it adds a fresh healthy flavor to my meals. So you can imagine my excitement at the prospect of having a plethora of herbs available just steps away from my kitchen. 
I finally planted my little deck garden. As you can see from the above picture, when I say little I mean little. My deck is about 4 feet by 4 feet. I had a choice of a grill, a bistro table, or a garden but not all three... so a garden it is. I decided to forgo my normal tastes and do just basic plastic planter boxes, and 1 hanging tomato plant. I planted thyme, sage, rosemary, garlic, shallots, snap peas, cilantro, dill, mint, parsley, basil, green onions, and chives. 
Anyway I didn't do much cooking this weekend, mostly just ate stir-fried veggies and fruit... but I got to take advantage of the 70 degree weather and get my garden started. It got me so excited for summer. I am hoping to spend my summer checking out as many farmers markets as I can.
Have a great day. I promise I will cook something tomorrow... not sure what yet. But something.

Yeah!! Love it Crystal!
If you want a table for your porch, you should think about getting an herb rack so you can stack them up! ...Loves your fork and lammented herb labels! I \'ll have to post my sidewalk garden up for you to see soon.
Oh I do want to see it. I like the shelf idea... but I think I would prefer a grill to a bistro table. I just have to find a shelf that would work.
