Rosemary Re: [Sca-cooks] bananas are herbs?

[Elaine Koogler]

Hmmmm...that would make sense.  I'm told that the reason a couple of my 
flowering trees won't is because my soil may be too acidic.  I had 
thought of sprinkling some lime around those trees/bushes (magnolia, 
wisteria, etc.), so I could try a little around the rosemary as well.  
Thanks for the suggestion.
