I love my rosemary plant. I took this beautiful picture of it, so I wanted to share. Never knew much about rosemary, but I bought a small plant last year because of its beautiful scent, and it has grown indoors very well in my sunroom. It has become one of my favorite plants. I cook with it occasionally but I usually just enjoy the scent that it fills my home with. I have grown to love this indoor herb garden bit. I hope to add some more soon. I never thought that growing edible and aromatic plants could be such therapy. I have always had plants, and I have many of them. An umbrella tree, a Norfolk pine, Boston fern, several pothos ivies, succulents, several flowers that moved indoors when the cold came (a geranium, forget-me-nots and a bucket of lantana), an african violet, cacti, and a rapidly increasing number of spider plants that have sprung from my VERY happy and growing spider plant. I love gardening very much so, and my recent venture into edible plants has been rewarding.

Beautiful rosemary!! Your green thumb is making mine jealous! Anyways, I love the smell as well. I also like to use it when I'm roasting a chicken. Just stuff a few sprigs in the cavity with a lemon that you've poked with a fork so the juice can come out and it turns out wonderful.

Wow, that's really pretty!

Are they hard to kill? For some reason I can keep the four kids and most of the fish and other pets alive, but I kill all but the sturdiest plants...
