Anyone struggling to get hold of fresh Rosemary?
Discussion
I have spent the last 10 days trying to find fresh Rosemary, to the point where I am popping into supermarkets when passing and incurring the ensuing chaos that all the last minute prats have created, and still I cannot find it anywhere. Supermarkets, convenience stores, even the market.
It's for 'the' day, and though I have dried stuff, it has to be fresh. The tatties have to be done with crushed garlic, rock salt and loads of rosemary. Nothing else will do.
Is anyone else struggling to obtain the stuff this year? I can't recall ever having a problem before?
The rosemary bush in someones garden that I pass while walking the dog is looking ripe for a smash and grab under the veil of darkness this evening as it stands!!

Depending on when you want it I can happily stick a branch or two in a jiffy bag.... PM me if that helps.It's for 'the' day, and though I have dried stuff, it has to be fresh. The tatties have to be done with crushed garlic, rock salt and loads of rosemary. Nothing else will do.

Why not go and ask?
I have three large bushes and therefore have an inexhaustible supply of rosemary. If you are anywhere near me you would be welcome to some...(Basingstoke)...but I'll bet if you ask anyone with a bush they'd let you have some. You can't need fresh rosemary often enough to run out if you have your own bush...

Lets just say I don't see eye to eye with said neighbour, hence knocking on the door, wishing them a Merry Christmas and asking for a clipping isn't really an option sadly!
I also do have a herb bed planned for next year for all my herb needs.
Just snip a bit from the inside and nobody will be any the wiser.I also do have a herb bed planned for next year for all my herb needs.
