I love the smell of pine needles and the ritual of getting
a tree, but each year I feel a little sad over throwing that lovely tree away (to be recycled, of course). On Blogging Baby, J.D. Griffioen
recommends using a large rosemary bush, cut like a Christmas tree in December and then planted in your garden in
January. It's festive, it smells good, and it will flavor your roast chicken and turkey all year long.
It's a great idea, and though I doubt I'll ever give up the pine tree, it would make a great secondary tree for the kids. And maybe I can get them into gardening while I'm at it.
If you purchased a new rosemary bush every year - soon
you'd have enough for a whole hedge. And you'd never lack for rosemary skewers or spring chicken with rosemary and lemon again.
