This is really cool… But unfortunately I must have a very suspicious mind because I would never take this for fear of what has been done to it… Do you wash rosemary before you use it? What if a dog licked it, or worse, peed on it?!

Yes, you wash everything from a garden before you use it.

I understand their generosity. Our rosemary is out of control, and I cut and give away HUGE amounts of it regularly. Rosemary grows very well here.

stubsdc yes pinch those offf and your basil will thicken and grow larger and stronger also direct sunlight is the best good luck

re:>It’s signs and gestures like this that remind me why I love this city so much.

(sniff) I *heart* DC, too.

Mayhaps we’re getting the wrong rosemary plants. We’ve killed 2 and our 3rd is walkin’ with a limp. This looks like a different kind, though.

Rosemary is usually pretty hardy. Lots and lots of sun and not so much water. Ours actually over-wintered – it’s a little evergreen after all.
