   Hi All,   
      
   Just some small black thumb gardening talk:   
      
      
   I have been watering my rosemary plant more and it   
   has seems to give me better cooking sprigs.  I   
   use some to cook pork chops.  I have yet to   
   try chicken.   
      
   Is watering all there was to it?   
      
      
   I cut off the seed balls from my green onions (scallions)   
   as a Songbird directed me.  That left two foot long   
   open at the top 1/2" tubes.  The plants just stayed   
   that way for two weeks.  Then a couple of thunderstorms   
   filled the tubes with water and nasty looking   
   things took up residence in the tubes.  So I cut the   
   tubes off down by the base where they were solid.   
      
   Then something wonderful happened.  This week I go out   
   and the plants had all sprung up two foot leaves.   
   A lot of them.  And the winds had blown a few over.   
   Since they were not doing the plant any good that   
   way, I harvested them.  Had some for breakfast.   
      
   This is marvelous.  I thought the plant would just   
   slowly die, having flowered.  And being that   
   I have trouble getting regular onions to bulb (too   
   short a growing season) and these things grow all   
   winter long, they may be the perfect substitute   
   for regular onions until I get regular onions   
   figured out.   
      
   Life is good.  Thriving, not just surviving.
