I’ve written before about scoping out your neighborhood for decorative plants that double as edible herbs, like thyme, rosemary and mint.

The new landscaping includes 10 rosemary plants. That’s a lot of rosemary! I’ll be able to make as many rosemary sourdough loaves or pine tree cookies as I could possibly want. If only I had talked to the landscaper before he planted. Then maybe I could have gotten some tarragon and sage included in the design. Some varieties of oregano make for great ground cover …
