French Garden Recipes

I just spent a hot day lifting sod and plowing over 1,000 square feet in preparation for my kitchen garden. I’m so excited to put in all the ingredients used in my French recipes! Tomorrow, we’ll do one last tilling, mark off rows, and, finally, plant our herbs, vegetables, and fruit. If you don’t have the space or energy to plant a backyard garden, try growing French kitchen herbs inside your home. Bon appetit!
