I have a thing for rosemary. It is a plant that awakens incredible nostalgia in me. I always pinch a couple of leaves and smell my fingers to just bring back the memories of a long-gone childhood. I remember playing between various rosemary bushes where I grew up and it just always reminds me of my youth.
That being the case, I just had to get some rosemary for 
This time around, I made two new patches. The first one, next to the wild rocket and salad rocket, I made some space for the rosemary bushes. I hope that I gave them big enough space to flourish in. I planted three rosemary plants.
The physical work is always the best. After so many years trying to be brutal to my hands, gardening and golfing, my hands are still so soft and easily hurt. Half an hour into digging the grass out, I already felt the first blisters on my hands.
But it is all worth it as soon as you plant that plant and you see it grow. Every morning will be the same: go into the garden to see if new leaves are growing even though I know it does not grow that quickly.
After making the first garden bed ready, I decided why not do another one? My hands were already covered in blisters, but I just had to do it. I have stored some seeds for quite a whole now, some unique peppers, and I have never planted them. So now I decided it was time.
The satisfaction when you are done and ready to plant the seeds are unmatched. I love it, the smell of dirt on your hands, your heart beating, and the little seeds in your hand. Now I say my little prayer and I plant them. I really hope they will spout and turn into lovely big plants producing lovely peppers.
The best part of this whole new gardening adventure is taking it step by step with my girlfriend
Happy gardening and stay safe.
