I pinch cut stalks, top down, between thumbnail and the side of my
forefinger, using my left hand to pull the stalk upwards. Anything that
comes loose - leaves, new shoots, is fair game.

I use only the new shoots. Keep your rosemary well pruned to
encourage new growth!

Do you do that in freezing temps too? I got a 2' tall bush but
haven't harvested since the cold weather.

I don't grow rosemary but it's my favorite herb!!!

As in... Andy's all-time, suitably award winning worthy, better than words,
exceptionally exquisite, world famous (yet to be determined), delectable, yo
mama!, keep it in the house, about the best, can't have the recipe, popovers.

[Straightening tie] Ahem... Where was I?

Also mine. Because when I smell rosemary it remember me roasted chicken and
make me very hungryDD
At second place there is Thime and erba cipollina (onion herb I think),
third oregano, fourth summer savory. Do you know summer savory?

Our rosemary bush is reaching the status of a noxious weed that's
threatening to take over the front yard. If not now, when? Our next
door neighbor doesn't bother to ask before trimming, which is fine by us.

I live in what's called a Mediterranean climate. It gets cold here
but rarely freezes, so I can harvest rosemary year 'round.

An OK procedure. But: A little (!) prob here. No biggie.

1. The oils, which are secondary metabolites of the plant, are
concentrated in the older leaves. (Lower) More flavor.

2. The older leaves are tougher and more woody.

3. The younger sprouting leaves are lighter in flavor,
but this may not be a problem. Different cultivars
have somewhat different flavors on the stem tips,
so YMMV.

4. Also, on the same plant, the sprouting tips taste
*slightly* diff. from the older leaves. It's kinda like
garlic bulbs vs. young garlic shoots.

Conclusion: Try yours and see what you like. We have
3 different cultivars of R. in our yard. I like Tuscan Blue
the best, I think. In any case, mince fine. People who
have IBS will appreciate it. Often I put the leaflets into
my blender with a bit of oil and macerate. The R.
oils are captured in the EVOO, so no flavor is lost.

HTH,

Alex, Chemiker

You could also if you have heaps of it try a poor mans distilling method
also good for lavender mint and any other essential oil .
We use an old pressure cooker or some lab equipment <g>
Throw the herbs stalks leaves etc in the pressure cooker trapped in and
old modded deep fryer basket so as not to stick to the bottom

Then distil via a copper tube or retort and the condisate
is then added a few drops into various recipes or oils

Use a syringe to inject the raw lamb and roo before baking and the
falvour goes right through the meat

sf,

popovers are about the last luxury I allow for real eggs and real butter.

I'll thyme one in the next batch!

Best,

It snows in Hawaii too, but there are certain conditions that need to
be met - like altitude. I'm virtually at sea level, just a couple of
miles from the coast. I see snow for an hour or so (on the ground at
my house) once every 10-15 years.

We call it in France: sarriette, and in Holland: bonenkruid.

It is growing in my garden, next to the rosemary and thyme. Mediterranean
climate. The oregano, rather majoran, on the other side of the road. No
basil in winter, but parsley, yes. The bay leaves I find along the road to
the cafe. That covers much of my needs, beside peppers and pepper.
(poivrons and poivre).

If "summer savory" is called that, I am not sure, but "savory", yes.

My sage is growing in the shade at the north side of my house. It is
blooming every spring. Yes, I also tend to forget it. But, the end of the
year, it is needed to add something to the game.

The woody stalks are nice for making pork kabobs on the grill, too.

Sage is beautiful during spring. But during summer no because there are many
parassites.

Yes. That's a twilight shot of when the moon is close to earth (looks
huge). It's breath takingly beautiful.

You're very welcome, but all you need to do is look up at the night
sky Pandora. The moon comes that close to Earth in regular cycles!
When it does, there are lots of photographers at key points in my
city.
