The year before I went to grad school I binge watched a lot of Jamie Oliver cooking shows with my family. And I fell in love with the idea of cooking with fresh herbs. They’re kinda pricey to buy at the supermarket so a small herb garden seemed like the best solution. Sadly student housing isn’t the best place to grow herbs so it was a dream I had to put off.
When I moved into our house in NW Arkansas I was most excited about the little garden plot out back. I could already imagine the scent of freshly grown basil, thyme & oregano {and tossing them into my dishes.} I make no claims at being an expert cook, but thanks to Pioneer Woman and Jamie Oliver I’m taking a good stab at learning.
Once I’d finished weeding and plopped the little plants into the fresh garden soil I was pretty proud of myself. What a difference!
This isn’t a DIY post because I’m far from qualified to write one. Maybe I’ll do some gardening tips posts in the future. (Once I know what I’m doing.)
I just left my little plot in Nathan’s hands while I’m in Mississippi. So excited to be here to tell Mary Anna & Caleb’s wedding story.

What do you grow?
