My Rosemary

Wow!!!  Rosemary has done really well this year.  She is about five feet tall and even wider than that.  
 
We planted this one (or maybe two) about 6 years ago.  Some winters stress Rosemary too much, and they can't bounce back.  But this one has been holding her own for quite a while now.
 
We use the stems fresh when cooking chicken and turkey, and I love making wreaths with the fresh stems.  And of course, I harvest stems, and hang them in the kitchen window to dry, then use the dried leaves in bread and other things.  
 
I learned a long time ago that one use for Rosemary is NOT as greenery in a vase of flowers.  The volatile oil in Rosemary that we love:  flowers hate, and they don't last very long in a vase with Rosemary.  So I just put the Rosemary stems in a vase by themselves.  They are so pretty and I love seeing them in the kitchen.  
 
I thought you'd like to see our Rosemary.  We love it!!!
 
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
