I put a couple of springs aside for our meal tonight (nice sausage cooked with sprigs of rosemary in the oven pan, fancy frozen potato zigzag fries, peas cooked with a stock cube in the water and lots of gravy) and for the dinner planned for Sunday, which is honey mustard garlic sausages and I promise that we eat more than sausages but it's the way that the meals fell out this well, then dug in. I had this lot.
Which I got down to this
Which I chopped a bit, getting rosemary leaves everywhere and bunged into an ice cube tray.
I can always hack chunks off with a steak knife. And now the house smells like medicinal chest rub.
DH has picked up the strimmer. I'm sort of nervous, but I know that he'll do a good job and it's the push that I need to get the garden sorted out.
Hugs and good health to all.
I love the smell of rosemary. I dried it once. My son still remembers it, says it was too crunchy lol. I should have ground it up a bit more I think
ReplyDeleteI love rosemary. I'm hoping that the freezing will set mine up for some success. I didn't even think of drying it, which goes to show!
DeleteWell done harvesting all that rosemary and freezing it. I have two rosemary bushes, although I rarely cook with it. They are drought tolerant once established and are often used as landscape plants, here.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing flowers on rosemary. They look so beautiful against the spiky leaves. I think that you made a good choice including them in your garden.
DeleteI persuaded some rosemary sprigs to root. I'll pot them on next week.
ReplyDeleteThat's good news. I hope that they take off for you as they are so wonderful in the garden.
DeleteI can almost smell that rosemary. I'll be sticking some in the lamb for tomorrow's dinner.
ReplyDeleteThere is something wonderful about lamb and rosemary, even for someone like me who isn't a lamb lover. I hope that you'll add plenty of garlic.
