I am going to train Frog dog to dig up rosemary bushes as soon as he is fully recovered. The reason will be explained soon but first a warning.

Avid readers to the subject in hand.
Very useful information can be gleaned from daytime television. I discovered there is an old wives tale that says if rosemary grows well in your garden then it is the woman of the house who wears the trousers. The proof is shown below.



This rosemary was planted by the TG two weeks ago and at that time stood 4" tall. It now looks like a tropical rainforest. Twas the Romans introduced the plant to these shores which was obviously a cunning plan to change the natural social order.........man speaks, woman obeys*. (I thought I could hear the sound of nervous laughter as Peabrain was typing. Hmm. Lo, TG Ed.) It has long been associated with magic and is regarded as a sacred plant in many cultures. These facts coupled with the TG's status leaves me with little hope. ( For 'little' you may read 'not a' - see*. Lo, TG Ed.)

If there are any manly men left out there, clubbing, grunting and brushing your knuckles along the ground, replant your rosemary bushes in cold, wet, badly drained soil and the pendulum might swing back the other way.
