I’m doing herbs since I can’t seem to grow strawberries

Strawbs! Or….. All the herbs!!!

No idea whether this is a good idea, but…
Mint.
Like strawberries, it propagates through runners. And it’s infamous for taking over every inch of soil it can reach, so it’s best to plant it in either a pot (without a direct route to the ground below) or a raised bed that you don’t mind it taking over.
Plant some mint at the top, and it should establish some more offshoots in the side pockets. Keep the pot on the deck like that, and there shouldn’t be too much risk of it spreading to the rest of the yard.

We inherited one of these as well and it was also used for strawberries. We have an in ground patch of strawberries, though, so I’m going to try some herbs that I don’t want spreading in the ground too much. We’ll see if it works!

Hens and Chicks, succulents.
If so, get up to three varieties that look good together.
Edit… the smaller the variety, the better.
If Strawberries, I’d advise some kind of bird netting or else you’ll lose most. But then again, some people believe the birds should enjoy their share.

I’d look for something that could trail out of the smaller side openings- string of pearls, pothos, or even something edible like nasturiums or trailing rosemary! Then the top could be used for any complimentary succulents or herbs (:

I see these used for hen and chick succulents, but they have more pieces on the sides. The one my wife bought last year is active again but I just know I’m going to cut the plastic container off to let them spread out more. Even an Ohio winter, which we didn’t even have this year, couldn’t kill them.

i’ve turned mine into a succulent planter. i’ve put perennial sedums in the little pockets, they trail nicely, and hens and chicks in the top, and i splurge and get some annual succulents every year for eye catching variety. 🙂
