Rosemary

One recent Sunday afternoon, I came upon an unexpected treasure at the
local garden center.  A big, beautiful, thriving rosemary plant in a
hanging container -- that was actually blooming!  There is nothing
prettier than the soft blue of a rosemary blossom.  I'd never seen
rosemary actually blooming before, it was the only one offered for sale
-- wedged into the perennials aisle.   But the price was $12.95, so I
passed it by.  But I couldn't stop thinking about it -- how unique it
was.  The four-inch-high rosemary plants I usually see in the "herb"
section of my local nursery are usually around $3 apiece.   Finally, a
week later, after five very hectic workdays, I stopped by the garden
center again.   The blooming rosemary plant was still there.  As I
picked it up and headed for the cash register, another customer said in
a disappointed tone,  "Oh -- I was eyeing that."   I mentioned that I'd
seen it and waited a week before purchasing it.  She smiled and said, "I
guess it was waiting for you!"    You can bet I'm banking on my $12.95
investment lasting a long time.  The rosemary is planted in my SQFT
garden, but I'll "winter" it indoors.   Does rosemary "like" any other
vegetables?  And please send rosemary recipes!
