My friend Rosemary

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

I love growing and using herbs and one of my favourites is Rosemary. Rosemary is easy to grow, looks and smells wonderful and can be used in many ways. Growing Rosemary. ***************** How to grow Rosemary is the obvious place to start this review. The first thing to say is that Rosemary is really easy to grow and in my experience quite forgiving too! Having said that Rosemary is not easy to grow from seed. I recommend you buy your plant from a nursery. They are really cheap, usually about £1 each. April is the ideal month for planting outside although it is not to late now in early may. Rosemary originates from the Mediterranean and so not surprisingly likes to grow in a sunny spot. It also likes sandy soil although my plants grow very happily in clay soil. Planting is really easy; simply dig a hole about 3 inches deep ...

Review of Rosemary

A BITTERSWEET SONGBOOK

Advantages: It's got the original; it's a bit of group history
Disadvantages: Whose biggest hits?

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.

Rosemary When I first came to view this house, I remember getting that feeling, as soon as I stepped over the threshold, that this was to be my home. Standing in the back bedroom, looking out over the garden, I remember thinking it had everything I could ever want in a garden, and it was as much for this, as for the house itself, that I made my offer and bought my first home. The garden was full then of mature shrubs, an apple tree, a huge clematis and a bower of honeysuckle. The land was grassed over, though this was the first thing I changed when I moved in, lifting the turf and laying paths, flower beds, vegetable plots and areas for seating. It was not, however, until after I moved in and had my first real explore of the garden I have come to love and cherish, that I found, nestling in a corner beside the house wall ...
