2026, My year of Garden Narcissism

I found it--Hypericum berries, and I Could grow them. Hard to tell if any fertilization took place.

Sooo....you know that hardy rosemary that I bought last Fall? Rosemary can't make it through my winters.
It slowly died by the left side of my kitchen sink. I wasn't able to get to the post office and it looked pretty sad when I finally picked it up, then I let it sit potbound...it was a recipe for plant death!
DD's were polite and never said anything as they walked by it. I finally had to put it to rest. Youngest DD said she would buy me a new one. I tt her bc they only had 2 in stock and another supplier was OOS, so I ordered it.
i abHOR ordering Anything that ships USPS, but this one will be shipping UPS to the house.
It is ok in zone 6. I am on the northern End of zone 6, so I might offer it some protection.
Rosemary IS, after all, a Mediterranean plant. MAYBE I will pot it, grow it on the south side of the house, then move the pot to the east side of the house for protection, like I did for my now 14 ft all dwarf Magnolia.
I have a pot with sprouted onions on my enclosed porch doing quite well and that might be a good overwintering spot for the rosemary. I might try cuttings, too...
Here's where I found it.

How I would like to send some of my rosemary and lavender.

As I have often said, I am the worst ever gardener that ever graced this wonderful site. But thankfully my rosemary and lavender plants took great pity on me and remains with me to this day.

Allow me to vent...DD's helped me set up autopay for a few vendors, and to help with my new accounts, since we all went to the Bank 2 weeks ago to take Jim's name off of them. As I make my phone calls, one is to cancel my INet services, which has been costing me $175.00/month. We also went to Verizon same day to update the contact for That account. They offered me a brand new modem, very good service, $45.00/month.
As I wait on hold with Frontier, I will have to pay them >$189 to pay for the bill due on the 18th and to close out the account.
If my math is correct: 175 - 45 = $130 Less/month
I am being charged an additional $14 to close out this account, so I will be paying $189.36 + 45 = $234.36 for my Internet in February. They have not given me a new modem in 26 years, maybe they did once.
I have NEVER gotten a call or mailing offering me a Better deal, but, when the clerk asked me why I was cancelling, I was offered INet for $29/month.
The service has never been good.
Glad to see the back end of them!
