all she needed was love.....

When Spring came, I transplanted my root-bound pot-growing Rosemary into the ground, and was dismayed when I saw that she did not take the transplant as hoped. Sadly, her  needle-like leaves turned brown and became brittle. She shriveled and faded. Since I put her in an area by herself, as her type prefers space to grow tall and full, I thought, ‘Maybe she's lonely.’ So, I bought a six-pack of baby Nasturtiums and planted them all around her.

This was about two months ago. The Nasturtiums hugged Rosie right away, almost as if they knew what their mission was and, as you can see, Rosie got her color back and is thriving nicely alongside her new friends.
