One of the things we've been wanting to do here at Mourning Dove Cottage is cut back on yard maintenance.
Over the years the shrubs and trees have grown so large that we seemed to be pruning and cutting back all the time. Outside the back door along the picket fence bordering the driveway were three big holly bushes. They had to go.
I decided to put in an herb garden because it's right outside the kitchen door . 
Rosemary, sage, parsley, oregano and chives. I'll be adding more as time goes by.
