    Hi there
    I can understand that rosemary might not be your favorite herb since it does not exactly have eye-catching flowers. It has tiny violet, blue or lilac flowers that bloom inclusters practically throughout teh year with its best showing in late spring.
    But all things aside: Rosemary is basically suited for all areas. it will thrive in any well-drained soil and full sun. I also want to add that I think rosemary has more qualities than most of uf think. I planted some Rosemary near my windows and I find that less mosquitoes come in to bug my at night.

    Hi there Besewnsew
    You are so right is is quite pungent (just the way I like as it keep the mozzies at bay). So sorry to hear about your allergy.
    My name might be palm tree, but I only have a potted Phoenix roebelinii - a small dwarf palm since I lack the space in my garden to have a big one.

    Better than no tree at all.
    The banana tree? Is it a Strelitzia nicolai??

    Oh I do indeed live in the city.
    My plot size is almost 700 square meters and my house takes up approximately half of that area. The problem however is that the house was built on an awkward spot which left me with a decent backyard and a tiny front yard that just allows for a small garden in front. (3 x 20 m)
    My children insisted on a swimming pool and thus the backyard lost 28 square meters.

    My ambition is to move to a farm before I grow too old to enjoy it. I am just waiting on my baby to finish school, then I will actively work towards moving to a farm. In the meantime I will envy you.
