0 Herb Today, Grown Tomorrow

From time to time I do head out into the yard and attempt to exercise my brown thumb. Especially when it’s a sunny 72 degrees and I just can’t stand the thought of being inside. Last spring I was pretty stinkin’ proud of myself for my novice attempt at an herb garden, but of course, as the weeks went by, my around-the-house-ADD left this patch of dirt more than slightly neglected.

Sadly, there weren’t many survivors. Dill, parsley, basil and cilantro just couldn’t handle my here’s a little dirt, a smidge of sunshine and water when-I-remember-you’re-still-out-there mentality towards gardening.

But not my rosemary…

 
Oh, no. This trooper held on tight during the winter months and seemed to triple in size with all of the rain we’ve had thrown upon us in the last few weeks. Out of nowhere—and with zero help from yours truly—BAM! This friend turned into serious shrubbery…

 
My poor little kitty friend is suffocating underneath all the herb goodness. He’ll learn to love it. Heaven knows I’m not planting another bush for him to keep company.
