PERENNIAL ROSEMARY BUSHES!!!

Moving farther south has given us some excellent opportunities in the garden!

@Grandpa-pepper and my mom are staying at the same resort that Hive account@vcelier and Hive account@naru-celier stayed at when they came to visit. I missed it last time, but I noticed something very interesting this time around.

A BIG, BIG ROSEMARY BUSH

The first time I ever saw a large Rosemary bush just growing out in the yard was when I lived in New Orleans. It was in a yard along the Mississippi River, and I'd pass by it every day on my walk to and from work. Apparently, we are far enough south to grow this plant in the yard too! Where I come from, it was always a potted plant that you had to overwinter in the house.

Here, the Hive account@little-peppers provide some size perspective. Just check out how big this bush is compared to them! We've got at least one little Rosemary bush already at home, but I may need to put in a few more. Hopefully ours can do just as good or better!

Here are some of the tiny purple flowers. I can't remember seeing the potted ones up north flowering, but I may have just missed it, or not been around them at the right time. Free seeds are always beneficial, and flowers lead to seeds! I'd love to have some large Rosemary bushes on the homestead always available when we need them. How about you? Have you ever grown this plant? If so, is it potted, or out in the garden? Do you enjoy using it as a seasoning?
