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!!!
