Kitchen gardening ...

Among the smaller projects on the grounds of Chateau Acorn is the kitchen herb garden. We renovated a patch nearer to the kitchen for a small herb garden that includes rosemary, coriander, parsley, thyme, chives, marjoram, and sage. Some plants we started from seed and others we happened upon on remote corners of the property.

Two resident felines, Lulu and Booj, may have been tempted with a fresh patch of earth so easily accessible. So, we placed chicken wire down on those patches to discourage them from visiting the area.
