As for rosemary, I let it run all over my garden walls, not only because my bees love it but because it is the herb sacred to remembrance and to friendship, whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language.
Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)
It took me quite a long time to get the above photo of a bee on one of our rosemary bushes. The bees refused to pose and either flew away before I could photograph them or else gave me shots of their rear ends as they dived into the flowers!
In Australia, rosemary grows beautifully as a perennial. It is well suited to our hot, dry climate.
Today a picked a few sprigs and use them to make a rosemary, lemon and garlic marinade for some chicken thighs, which I later cooked in the wok with red capsicum strips and sliced onions.
