Appreciation post: That simple herb box I made for the kitchen
I built a basic wooden box to hold herbs on my kitchen windowsill. It was a quick project with some scrap wood and a few screws. Now when I grab some thyme, I remember my grandma's kitchen where she kept parsley in old coffee tins. She never bought herbs from the store, always grew them on the porch. This little box saves me trips to the grocery store for overpriced bundles. It's surprising how such a small thing can make cooking feel different. My cat tries to eat the chives, which is its own problem.

Honestly calling it a "quick project" is a stretch for most people. That scrap wood and screws still needs tools and a place to work, which not everyone has. Buying a small pot of thyme at the store is way faster and cheaper when you add up your time. Plus, your cat going after the chives shows how these little setups can just create new problems instead of solving old ones.

Actually cats usually avoid chives, they don't like the smell. My two would never go near mine lol. The rest of your point totally stands though.
