"Rosemary"
My Rosemary plant demised at the hands of INSECT PESTS! She fought a long battle but the tiny sucking multiplying creatures - white flies and pear aphids (green) invaded and conquered her land of living.
Rosemary was recently put into isolation on the east side of the sunroom. She was given
alternative natural treatments - a cold water shower wash in sink, sprayed with natural liquid soap and tea tree oil water, parts of leaves, stems, and top soiled removed. Unfortunately, the pests infestation was in the advanced stage. The only other option was to throw her in the recycle bag for Wednesday's recycle pick up.
Rosemary will be dearly missed. We loved her strong flavor of taste and her fragrant aroma smell in which she gave when you touched her leaves. She loved to be cooked in a nice saute bath of vegetables, other herbs, and spices. Her pungent flare brought us a good chicken dish, a raw pesto sauce, and a side dish of roasted zucchini, yellow squash, tomato, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, thyme, and oregano cooked in a cast iron pan. Rosemary supplied our bodies with beneficial health benefits of the following:
Life has to go on. Rosemary would have wanted that. So, her vacant spot on one of the bay windows will be replaced by up and coming seedlings...
Rosemary will be remembered and replaced in future. We will miss how she gave our home an ENERGIZING SCENT.
Long Lived Rosemary!
