The packing bench

Three heirlooms that actually ripen indoors.

Heat you can grow next to the kettle.

Basil, thyme, rosemary. One crate. One windowsill.

A harvest that fits between two stand-ups.

The bar that lives by the potting bench.

Amber glass. Real lather. No florist perfume.

The arm of the chair, made useful.

A living reminder on a brass chain.

Paper, on purpose.

A seasonal box for people with a windowsill and a calendar.
