Sharing the herb

OK, so I spoke too soon. The parsley's been nibbled. I'm taking no prisoners this time, there'll be a double-strength application going down tonight.

On the bright side, the rosemary cuttings that I re-planted at the weekend look like they've taken. So I can share my love of herbs with friends! Now which lucky person should I choose... any takers?

For the uninitiated, I should outline its key selling points. Rosemary looks lovely, grows quickly and can be used for a variety of cooking purposes. It's delicious with lamb, beef or pork, can be infused into a jus, or simply finely chopped and sprinkled with sea salt over small-cut roasting potatoes. It has small blue flowers, has a strong, distinctive scent which fills the air, particularly on a hot summer's night.

Sound good? Let me know if you'd like one!!
