Overview
Rosemary makes an excellent addition to any herb garden due to its fragrance and cullinary taste that goes
so well with lamb and chicken. Growing Rosemary is also beneficial to the garden appearance as it will develop
small flowers in late spring. Rosemary is a perennial and can be grown all year round.
Growing Indoors
Rosemary likes a lot of sunshine but will tolerate some shade. Rosemary is farily hardy and will not be affected
by most frosts, avoid planting in a low position that is subject to frost. Rosemary will grow well in a well drained soil.
Harvesting
To harvest Rosemary simply cut the stems with a sharp knife. When using in cooking you can 'release' the flavor
and oils of the rosemary by giving it a quick bash in a mortar and pestle. Rosemary leaves can be cut up and
used or whole stems can be placed in the roasting pan, chicken etc.
