Dogs in the Garden
The dogs have cornered some kind of critter in the garden and are making a mess. They're digging holes, trampling the garlic and oregano and trying to get under the rosemary bush.

I brought them inside and now my house smells like an Italian restaurant. Cool

That's how rosemary grows in California! It can become a hedge!

Hey Steve, why not put rosemary and basil in pots and have it indoors. Then your place can smell like an Italian restaurant all the time. Big Grin

These dogs are better at chasing rabbits than they are at catching them. This is why they did not trample the basil.

I don't have any basil in my garden right now. The rabbits ate it. Mad

The kind I have - "Tuscan Blue" - can grow to 6' high and some 6' in diameter. It's well suited to the climate - water it once or twice to get it started and it will survive on rainwater after that even during drought years. Caltrans uses it alongside freeways for erosion control for just this reason.

The kind of rosemary I am looking for however, is the kind they use in restaurants. It has a lot longer needle and a lot more flavor. Any idea what variety that is?

As dog smells go, smelling like an Italian restaurant is not bad.
Bob has a rosemary bush that is about that size. Have not tried cooking with it yet.
