quick and easy plant displays
i have an overzealous rosemary plant that has taken over 1/2 of the small front of my yard. i have exhausted the “wrapped rosemary in twine” gift that everyone i know has received at least twice and the cooking it in every meal. love the plant, but i am getting a little over it, but the plant seems to keep getting bigger…..what do i do??
lately, i have been putting the plant’s hardy branches to work in a vase here at the store. i don’t know why i haven’t thought of this earlier, but this is the perfect use of just any plant that has had growth spurts, yet you just don’t want to give it up to compost.
the left is the rosemary, well over a foot high. the right is a handful of basil in a mason jar from our CSA basket a couple weeks ago, YES a couple weeks ago! both arrangements are easy to make and you can dress them up: pebbles in the vase, the occasional flower or a few strands of twine…or keep it simple like above. i must say, people have been complimenting them quite often because of their mouthwatering smell.
