Rosemary, Basil, Chives, Mint

If you love herbs as much as I do and want to try to grow your own, especially if you have limited space or a black thumb, this is the way to go.

Add some rocks for drainage.

Growing Herbs in Jars

What you need:

Mason jars (I used these wide mouth quart size ones.)
Organic potting soil 
Choice of herbs (I found potted organic herbs in the grocery store.)
Small rocks/pebbles (I bought mine at World Market, but you can also find them on Amazon or in maybe even in your yard.)

How to make:

Fill bottom of mason jars with rocks or pebbles, allowing at least an inch of rocks for water drainage. Add soil, leaving room for herb roots. Remove herbs from container. With your hand, gently loosen the soil surrounding the roots and place in the jar, adding more soil as necessary to cover the roots. (You could also try planting seedlings or seeds directly in the jars.) Water and place in a sunny window or other sunny location. You can also use some tape or other material to label the herbs if you'd like.

Easy Recipe for Saving Money from Quail Crossing Apartment Homes! 3 Golden Rules to live by!

August 15, 2013 - An Easy Recipe for Saving Money!

1. Use Less - I just got out of the shower and I can tell you I used a whole lot more shampoo and conditioner than my hair needed.  Also, I turn on the water to get it hot and will continue to run it because I've gotten busy doing something else.  - or when I'm cooking, I'll fix a pound of ground meat for the two of us in a recipe - when I could get by with a 1/2 pound.  I pull out two tissues or multiple paper towels when I just need one.   (and just a thought - we are talking about saving money - and time is money - so if we can use less time to do a chore - we save!)

2. Use All - Lots of creative ideas for this  -  but one easy one is freeze leftover vegetables and when you have enough, make soup. . . . or add a little water to that shampoo bottle and get the last of the shampoo out!

3. Use Twice - We are such a throw-away society! I'll grab a paper towel to dry my hands and toss it when I could use it again in the next few minutes - or use a dryer sheet twice - or wear things twice! Most mothers know how many outfits a day our kids put on and often those outfits are thrown in the wash without a smudge on them.  And it's not just kids! I, unfortunately, do it too.

I know if I adhere to these 3 things, I'll be saving money and also saving some of our earth's valuable resources.
