We decided early on in this venture that we'd have our perennial herb garden out back behind the house. Always nice to have easy access to the oregano for pizza night. We planted nitrogen-fixing alfalfa as a cover crop on that plot this year. Starting next year, we will have a full-fledged English garden with meandering pathways, arbors and plenty of sage patches to roll around in. The perfect place to read a book or fake a British accent. We couldn't help but have a temporary herb garden though. We chose my grandpa's old vegetable garden plot right in front of M/M Hors Ease. It'll be a place for our herbs to grow big and tough and strong this year. Next year, we will have them pack their bags and make the journey to the far side of the house where they can make their permanent home. Charlton will pretend to be an immigration officer/ border patrolman at the carport and will make sure they are not smuggling any thistle or pokeweed in their bags. Once they pass the security check, he will stamp their tiny passports and teach them the elephant smackdown.
