The mezzaluna makes short work of chopping herbs like this rosemary in the photo. I made foccacia (bread) today and topped it with olive oil (from olives grown by our neighbours W & P - lucky us!), rosemary from the garden and some sea salt (I use a brand that mixes NZ and Celtic sea salts with sea kelp).
I have quite a few rosemary bushes this year 3 in the ground and 2 in largish pots. The 2 in pots though are much smaller and obviously stunted. I'm not sure if I should keep them in the pots or plant them in the ground and free up the pots for the 2 gardenias we bought recently. Has anyone grown gardenias in pots and if so how big do the pots need to be?
I have exactly the same mezzaluna and have been using it happily for year.
ReplyDeleteRe the rosemary, I did try and grow it in pots once (and sage) - it wasn't happy, so now its in the border. I am hoping to take it with me when I move as its so big, but my husband says 'no' we can buy another - yeah, but not one that size! Its a great winter herb, don't you think?

ReplyDeleteHi Shaheen
ReplyDeleteYes I think I should plant the rosemary in the ground, I have no shortage of it already but would be a shame if these 2 died. Besides I will be glad to use the nice pots for the gardenias (for one season anyway)!
I use quite a bit of rosemary, it's one of my favourite herbs.
Hi Angela, and thanks for looking at my blog :-)
