Dried Rosemary - Growing Your Own

"A garden is never so good as it will be next year." Thomas Cooper

Dried Rosemary Plant!

I know.  Most people purchase dried rosemary.  But not everyone is lucky enough to have a dried rosemary plant of his or her very own.  I am one of the lucky ones.

OK.  So my rosemary plant died and I stripped off the needles to collect the dried rosemary.  This was the good news.  The bad news is that I once heard that if a woman were able to keep a rosemary plant alive, in the house, through the winter, she would be the head of her household.  It's a goal.

Truth be told, I did keep this particular plant alive last winter.  This winter, however, it seems that I lost control of the situation.  Because I had kept my husband apprised of the head-of-the-household myth last year when everything was coming up rosemary, this year it was necessary to hide the body.  The pot is on a shelf in the basement.  The dried rosemary is in a recipe for a tomato sauce that's good on pizza or pasta.  Recipe to follow on another day.  I've had enough excitement for one day!
