Kitchen Canisters

Fresh herbs are flavorful additions to many dishes. Plant your favorites in old aluminum kitchen canisters. Drill small drainage holes in the bottom with an power drill. Make sure the planters get plenty of sun and don't let the soil dry out. Herbs for cooking: rosemary (pork, potatoes), parsley (pasta dishes), oregano (sauces, soups), sage (chicken, vegetables), basil (salads), and dill (fish).
