cheap chickens and my impressive herb garden

I went to Preston South Safeway three times this (long) weekend. Each time I did not spend $9.88 on a roast chicken.  This was despite the enormous amount of signage advertising their chicken special; chickens were $9.88 each rather than the usual $10.98.  What was perplexing about this was that the signs read:  'Don't pay $10 for a chicken'.  Seems a rather short sighted proclamation given their normal price is more than $10 which, according to the sign, one should not pay.  It also irritatingly over-states the (12 cent) difference between $9.88 and $10; if you paid $9.88 you're basically paying $10.  


Anyway, this weekend - aka 'the garden bonanza' - was not quite the garden bonanza envisaged.  My grandiose plan for paved area, planter boxes and a small jungle-enclosed bench (for reading in manner of secret garden) reduced in scale to a delightful-but-considerably-more-modest selection of herbs mounted onto the kitchen window sills:

Is magnifique, eh?  If not that practical - there's probably only a meals worth of herbs in total.  But so easy to water.
