There are really only two herbs I grow every year, rosemary and parsley.
I like to keep parsley on the window sill in the kitchen, and the rosemary is in a half barrel on the patio.
I generally get 3 years from my rosemary, as long as it's in a large planter.
There are two reasons it needs to be replaced...
One: It gets root bound fairly quickly.
And two...
It only tolerates so much snow...

Rosemary and Lemon Pepper Grilled Chicken and Zucchini
Amounts = as much as you'd like:
Chicken, cut into bite size pieces
Zucchini, cut into pieces, about 1/2" thick, halve or quarter larger slices
Onion, sliced
Olive oil, enough to coat everything
Rosemary, minced, enough to give everything a nice hearty sprinkle
Lemon pepper seasoning, a ~very liberal~ amount
- Add everything ~except lemon pepper seasoning~ to bowl, Give a stir.
- Light grill with grill pan on grates to get hot. Close lid and bring to high heat.
- Give everything a good coating of the lemon pepper seasoning, stir well. Add an extra shake for good measure.
- Toss into grill pan, spread everything into one layer in pan, reduce heat to medium and close lid.
- After 2-3 minutes give it a stir, from this point on treat it like a stir-fry, let it sit for a few seconds and stir/flip it.
- Cook until chicken is no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes total.
Eat well and have a happy day:@)
Your meal looks easy and tasty, Lynn. I like growing rosemary, especially, because it withstands the temperatures. My parsley lasts all winter, but it's going to seed right now.
ReplyDeleteI love your portulacas with the rosemary! I made Mamaw's pickles and we are enjoying them.
