and plant. Rosemary does not like too much water and can survive drought well. Plants can grow up to 1.5 metres tall if you let them. Rosemary can be trimmed and even pruned into shapes if you like. This really doesn't appeal to me, as I like my garden a bit on the wild side. There are several different varieties of Rosemary to choose from, including white and pink varieties. I grow one with blue flowers, as that is my favourite colour. The leaves are long and thin and look a bit like pine needles. I love the bright green and silver colour of the leaves. The stem is fairly woody. I should mention that Rosemary is fairly disease resistant and a plant should last for about twenty years once established. If you don't have a garden then it is possible to grow Rosemary in a pot. Just choose a sunny spot and water occasionally. It is best to ...

Review of Rosemary

Rosemary for Remembrance

Advantages: A wonderfully versitile herb which has many uses.
Disadvantages: Can take a little while to get established, likes good drainage and a sunny position.

and the border hedge, a huge Rosemary. It is the height of a fiver year old child, and the width of about 3, and it flowers every January without fail. I'm sure this cannot be the norm, but it is south facing, and pulls the heat from the bricks it's growing against, so maybe it feels a little like it's at home in the med in this small corner of my garden! Rosemary grows best in warm climates, but seems to manage very well in the household gardens of the UK. It likes well drained soil, lots of sunshine, and the occasional long drink of water. It's flowers are tiny pale blue blooms which are always the first to show their colour in my garden every year and entice the bumble bees out of their slumber. Some people say Rosemary is for remembrance, and I like that idea a lot, however it's not so fanciful as you might think, as studies have recently ...

Review of Rosemary

Rosemary And Me

Advantages: It does look quite pretty and you can eat it!
Disadvantages: Not totally hardy in cold areas and needs a bit of sand.

through muslin into a glass jar. That's it! You have a lovely, green-hued oil that will keep for about two months. You could also make rosemary and garlic butter. It is wonderful for smearing over lamb chops or beef steaks before you grill them. Take half a 250g packet of unsalted butter, two cloves of crushed garlic and a good tablespoon of finely chopped rosemary leaves. Mash them all up together as best you can ? a pestle and mortar is best. Once mixed, make a sausage shape of it and wrap it in greaseproof paper. You can keep it in the freezer for a couple of months. Just saw off a slice or two, as you need it. Do not use butter straight from the fridge, or it will be hard work. Let it soften a bit first! It is said also that essential oil of rosemary is very useful as an aromatherapy tool, good for muscular pain, digestion ...
