Rosemary is an amazing herb that was held in high esteem by the ancient Greeks and Romans. It has been used for the treatment of digestive problems, liver and gall bladder complaints, wounds, toothaches and depressive moods. It can be used in a tea, gargled, baths and of course is a wonderful culinary herb. I love to wrap it around a roast pork or beef when slow cooking. It is also wonderful in roasted potatoes and makes a super seasoner on any grilled meats or fish.
It is an evergreen shrub with dark green narrow leaves and can grow up to 5ft tall. It prefers nutrient rich soil and is very sensitive to frost. If you grow rosemary outdoors be sure to pot it and move it inside before the frost hits.
About Me
- MsGardener
- I have lived all my life in Ontario, Canada and moved from Toronto to a small town in rural Ontario almost 23 years ago. I love it here! Everything moves at a slower pace and there is room to grow lots of various plants. I have 5 children whom are all adults now and two granddaughters that I adore. I love to learn, learn and learn some more about the various uses for plants, companion gardening, natural methods of pest control etc. etc. etc.
