"Rosemary Bay and Myrtle" by Marilyn Edmison-Driedger
http://www.theherbaltouch.com/articles/r...
Marilyn discusses these three herbs and how they can be made into attractive topiaries (one of this writer's favorite subjects). These plants can be brought inside to overwinter, which makes this article very timely. She has a 5.5 feet tall myrtle! She and her store, The Herbal Touch, are based in Ontario, Canada, so she knows what overwintering is all about!

**Note: this is a good article, but I do not advocate the use of the insecticides malathion, Di-Systron or Kelthane.
