Mispronunciations aside, I was happy to find these metal buckets for a buck apiece at a flea market, (now the word nerd is using slang for alliterative effect!) With a large nail, I poked several holes in the bottom of both for drainage. A couple of bricks were used to elevate the upper bucket and then they were filled with potting soil. Three parsley starters were placed in the large bucket and a globe basil in the small one, (before photo above and after below). The plants thrived in the sun-warmed environment although they demanded a bit more care than those directly in the ground - watering was necessary nearly every other day in the dog days of summer - not a time to be "laxt" in my garden responsibilities!
