Herbs and Hat Boxes

It is another day of winter, mild and rather dry.  My herbs are waiting for a little bit of plant food to nourish them while they wait to return outside. Some Guy Wolff pots snuggle my herbs and scented pelargoniums.  Personally,  I would rather have a few hand throw pots than those made by machines. Since most of the plants are dormant they don't look as stunning,  but won't it be nice to stay frugal and let them grow and return bigger in the spring to the outside wee patio.
