Here in Michigan the weather is finally warming up during the day and staying warm enough at night that we can really start our garden.  Until recently it was still getting so cold at night that the plants weren’t safe outside.  This year we are starting a pallet garden with many vegetables.  While we love having fresh veggies on hand we also love having fresh herbs.  It turns out that planting herbs in mason jars is really easy and then you keep them inside and move them outside as it warms up. Here is a really fun Mason Jar Herb Planter that is perfect for adding herbs in and around your garden.

How To Make A Mason Jar Planter

Herb plants in mason jars are a natural fit. You have your kitchen plants in your extra kitchen supplies. Plus, the clear glass jar makes it easy to see what the water situation is with the plants and whether they are getting dry or have too much water. This makes growing herbs successfully easier!

Mark a spot on your wood piece where you want the hose clamp ring to hold the mason jar.  Mark a spot inside the hose clamp where you want it to attach to the wood piece.

Clamp Ring To Hold Mason Jar Planter

Use a nail or a tap to place a small hole in the clamp where you marked it.  Using the drill, add a small hole where you’ve marked the wood so the screw will not split the wood when it’s put in place.

Screw the clamp into place.

Add a bit of potting soil to the mason jar and then transfer you herb plant into the mason jar. Fill in any extra potting soil as needed at the top.

Pound the stake into the ground near your garden or anywhere you like.
