DIY: Blackboard Herb Pots

I've seen these on pinterest and have been meaning to get motivated with my fresh herbs and this was the inspiration I needed. I grow some more hardy herbs outside, rosemary, chives, thyme, parsley and mint but I find basil and coriander are best grown on a sunny window sill, and I have more mint, what can I say? I LOVE mojitos. 

This is a easy DIY, it literally took me about 15 mins start to finish.

You will need:
Terracotta pots, with a drainage hole
masking tape
chalkboard paint
paint brush
chalk or chalkboard pen
herbs

Simply masking tape around where you wish the paint to stop. Paint on the blackboard paint, this only needed one coat and was dry in 10 mins. Then simply label your selected herb pots with chalk and pop some herbs in them, place on a saucer, put them in a sunny spot and give them a good regular water.
