So I started what I hope will be an herb spiral at my cabin (upstate NY). I just used what was laying around so it was framed with some old cinders and broken clay tiles. I lined the bed with plenty of  dead wood, topped with peat, leaves, and the best dirt from down by the creek in a boggy area. Threw a bunch of seeds down and am hoping some sprout. We aren't there continuously, so I can't baby or even water anything regularly. I planted a couple of leftover Thai chilis that I didn't have room for in  my main home garden around it as well thinking the deer might pass those by. After 1 week I think the basil was sprouting. I'll be going up in a couple of weeks so I can update the pics then with what I hope will have more sprouting.

Looks good! With the heat the chilis and basil might do just fine.
