I found this cute vintage French cocotte or bean pot 

Most that I have come across are a pinkish terra cotta and have a fully glazed interior 

which makes them a  perfect container for flowers or in this case herbs

 I tucked in some parsley and a little red lettuce

 some mint for my tea

 thyme for the omelets 

 just use any thing you like

 they don't last forever but when they start to fade 

I plant them out side into the "real" garden

a nice little green for the kitchen...and useful too

Cheers, Kelley
