Kitchen Counter Greenhouse, Our Urban Kitchen

I had to share this recent find.  I don’t remember the name of it but I bought it at Ikea (fabric for the kitchen curtains were also bought from Ikea a couple of years ago).  The structure rests on the base (it’s not hooked in place so you can’t use the walls or the handles to lift it without everything collapsing– that’s what 19.99 gets you). But so far so good.  We found a home for it in our urban kitchen which gets ample light.  We’re keeping four herbs (sage, rosemary, chives and thyme).  We’ll put them in the garden or our porch beds if they outgrow their pots and aren’t doing well and replace them with younger herbs.  For now, they are the perfect cooking combo.  My oldest also placed an egg carton full of winter hardy brassica seeds which we will transplant in time.

It lives comfortably on our kitchen counter.

It fits quite a few plants if you can be creative.  The bottom catches water.
