Our rosemary is definitely hardy here, we have hedges of it - I know it's one thing I will definitely miss when I move back up north!

I've yet to be able to overwinter rosemary here so I always have to start from scratch every spring. Yes, smoking rosemary smell really good. I need to get myself one of those fire pits.<br /><br />Sorry to here about your berries. Hopefully your arms didn't get too beat up from the thorns when you dug them up.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-1060622494191546282011-05-02T11:51:19.953-04:002011-05-02T11:51:19.953-04:00Gran, you and I are sure getting the winds!

I wish you lived by me, I'd have found a home for them! I do feel your pain though, and I'm also trying to incorporate more flowers into my veggie garden. I'm driving my husband crazy with all the food planting around here. He's really a lawn person. He thinks a trip to the grocery store is so much smarter then breaking ones back in a garden. I try to convince him I'm having fun, he's not buying it.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-34354724389357193842011-05-01T22:30:55.667-04:002011-05-01T22:30:55.667-04:00I knew it! :) I personally don't much care f...I knew it! :) I personally don't much care for reality shows, BUT that one is one that I will watch!

They were already popping up all over my raised beds, so theres canes in with the peas, lettuces, etc!<br />***<br />Megan, they are a big commitment, it's like a pet! Once we are in our "forever home" I'll be back to planting all kinds of stuff again :)<br />***<br />Judy, I don't know what the deal was, but for the past 2 weeks I have really been feeling "ick"! Didn't want to do a darn thing, I'm so glad it appears to be back to normal, for now anyways. Yay for 60! It was a beautiful 70 here today, lots around here want 80's and 90's but it would be perfect for me if it stayed below 75 always:)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-55492457345616291352011-05-01T21:41:39.770-04:002011-05-01T21:41:39.770-04:00Mama Pea, your weather has been the absolute pits ...Mama Pea, your weather has been the absolute pits the past couple of weeks... apparently Mother Nature didn't get the memo!

Woo hoo! <br />And, of course, even though I was wearing a sweatshirt, I managed to get a sunburn on my face.

I'll wait until after it flowers and then rip it out. <br />Your boys looked like they had a blast!Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-80342299948141785692011-05-01T18:15:44.821-04:002011-05-01T18:15:44.821-04:00Wow, you were busy.
