Just lovely.

It really is amazing! I just wish it would get through winters here. I'm
thinking we're going to have to build a wall inside a greenhouse just to
grow that. ;-)

At my location, NO rosemary is winter hardy. I started a few from cuttings
to winter and cook with indoors. I remember down in Virginia seeing a
large rosemary plant in a sheltered spot in front of a book ship, which the
owner said had been there for a number of years.

Yes, many others will survive here. We're growing one in our garden called
R. 'Marenca' and it's another lovely one - prostrate but with bits that sort
of go off in their own direction! It's nothing like as long as the Salcombe
rosemary, though.

They're predicting mid-60sF today, so hopefully I'll start sticking garlic
cloves in the freshly rototilled bed.

According to the weather widget on my Mac it's 48F in Plymouth (30 mins from
here) and we have patches of blue sky with some ominous clouds but I don't
feel cold, though this morning was a little brisk.
