Rosemary?

If you remember the rosemary wreaths, I thought I would update just a bit. They are still green, but they went brittle and I find a few leaves on the counter every few days - especially if someone has moved or bumped into them. They also lost their potent smell after about two to three weeks. 

So overall, they have been a success and I'll be sad to take them down whenever I get around to doing it. The real reason they are on my mind though is that the plant outside [that I harvested for making the wreaths] that usually stays green throughout the winter, is brown and looking so forlorn. I don't think it liked me hacking away at it in very late fall. I'll add some compost and hope that it rallies, but I'm already thinking we may have to get a new plant. We'll see, but thought I would just add that as a little reminder/warning.

In other garden news, the peas have been planted but no signs of green yet. The daffodils and daylilies are starting to come up and soon there will be more pruning, planting, and all the fun of figuring out how to fill out our beds in front and back even more.

Nice to know the first signs of spring are appearing somewhere in the nation. The daffodils must look lovely.
