We don't have a rosemary plant in our garden.
We have a lavender plant.
I know this because I bought it.
I know this because I planted it.
And, I know this because our plant looks like this:

As you can see, Lavender is a "smoky green grey color" whereas Rosemary is a more waxy green.
And if computers were equipped with smell-o-vision these days - which clearly, they should be - it would make the lavender obviousness that much more, uh, obvious.
This is the twenty-eighth instruction in my ongoing series of Instructions for My Husband.
Update: my kids just saw this post and said, "Uncle thinks it's a Rosemary plant, too!" Really, Uncle?Is this true?

This is such a cute post and your Lavender looks really good!
It looked like rosemary to me. But one sniff or taste will settle the debate immediately.
if only computer's had smell and taste functionality! put it on the invention list.
i fully expect you to confirm (or deny) on your next visit.
Thanks so much! I note, for the record, you refer to it as my Lavender plant and not my Rosemary plant!
Lavender and rosemary are close cousins. But I'm pretty sure that one growing in your garden is rosemary. Sure smelled like rosemary anyway.
Your kids saw the post? Are you homeschooling them in your blog now?
you don't find my side-by-side photographic comparison compelling?
uh, whaddya mean "now" - old news, bro-wo, old news.
I can't tell the difference either. But that's coming from someone who is slowly killing all the nice plants left from the previous homeowner.
They're both definitely Rosemary plants. Lavender plants look similar but with serrated leaves. Google "French Lavender" and you'll be able to pull up pictures of the leaves.
