As for rosemary, I let it run all over my garden walls, not only because my bees love it but because it is the herb sacred to remembrance and to friendship, whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language.
Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)
It took me quite a long time to get the above photo of a bee on one of our rosemary bushes. The bees refused to pose and either flew away before I could photograph them or else gave me shots of their rear ends as they dived into the flowers!
In Australia, rosemary grows beautifully as a perennial. It is well suited to our hot, dry climate.
Today a picked a few sprigs and use them to make a rosemary, lemon and garlic marinade for some chicken thighs, which I later cooked in the wok with red capsicum strips and sliced onions.

What a great picture! You captured it well. Your dinner sounds so delicious. I hope you will post your recipe!
As for harvesting, we put up what will probably be the last tomatoes of summer. I took some of my fresh basil and added it to several jars.
Have a lovely weekend!
This week I harvested the rest of my lemonade fruit before pruning the trees and also some lettuce,asian greens & a few herbs.

Hi Gloria, thanks for visiting.
Jennifer, the recipe for the marinade can be found by clicking on the link - I published it once before.
Hi Caroline, that sounds wonderful. We're harvesting, greens, herbs and citrus too.

And your wait was well worth it. What a beautiful picture. I harvested some zucchini and cucumbers, though the cukes were a bit bitter )C:
