Rosemary
In the Middle Ages newlyweds would plant a rosemary branch on their
wedding day. People believed
that if the rosemary grew it was a good omen for the couple and their
family. I didn't know this at
the time, and we've already been married a few years, but it still does
seem fitting that rosemary was the first thing we planted in our new yard.
Rosemary
(Rosmarinus officinalis) is drought tolerant and pest resistant.
It's also very easy to propagate from cuttings.
It's a low maintenance, fast growing perennial, making it a great
early addition to your edible garden.
Plant it in a sunny area with good drainage and forget about it
until you’re ready to cook.
A few sprigs of rosemary add a depth
of flavor to almost any soup or stew. It makes a great herbed bread
and even a delicious ice cream!
