The 3 #rosemary plants that I propagated from free cuttings last year are doing very well.

A new study shows that herbs like oregano and rosemary, often used in cooking, might be good for pigs' health. This is different from just adding flavor.

Some really good ideas here... Replacing #TallGrasses with #Sedges, getting rid of #Periwinkle (though maybe not all of it, since it is an early flowering plant), replacing #Pachysandra with #SweetWoodruff, etc., etc.

17 #TickAttracting Plants You Should Avoid In Your Yard (And What To Grow Instead)

By Hattie Grigsby

"A stunning yard shouldn’t double as a tick playground—but surprisingly, some popular landscape plants invite them in. Dense groundcovers like pachysandra or #ivy create cool, shaded spots where ticks love to hide, making your outdoor space riskier than it looks.

"Swapping those out for smarter choices can make a big difference. Consider tick-resistant alternatives like #lavender, #rosemary, or ornamental grasses—plants that still offer beauty without creating cozy tick hangouts. Plus, many of these double as #PollinatorFriendly and #DroughtTolerant options."
