    We seal the wood with linseed oil (which is not only pretty and allows the natural beauty of the wood show through, but smells like heaven to me!). Each summer I give them a new coat. They should last 5 or more years, even here in the desert heat, and then we will make new ones.

I don't see why rosemary wouldn't grow-so far I've talked to quite a few folks, and just about anything will grow in these wonderful contraptions (except corn and asparagus...). They not only protect against cold, but also wind (which...

    Lol! We had 40-60 mph gusts the other night, and they didn't budge. We thought we might put in a latch to help secure the lids when they are shut, but so far no problems.

    Dill

    Sorry-I just meant the dill. We gobble the radishes right out of the dirt! So I just leave the dill out on the counter to dry, or put it straight into the jar? Or do I have to use a dehydrater?

    I was just reading that dill and radishes are good companion plants around cucumbers. We have quite a bit planted, even though we do go through a lot, and I was wondering what/how to store the excess. Thoughts?:)
