Wilson Castle
Proctor, VT
October 9, 2021
"The castle’s construction began in 1885, as instructed by Doctor & Lady Johnson. Doctor Johnson was a Vermonter who went to England to study medicine. While there he met & married a wealthy lady of the aristocracy. After 7 and a half years of planning and construction the castle was completed at the sum of $1,300,000. The Johnson’s remained in the castle for only a brief time.
From the 1880’s until 1939, the castle was bought & sold numerous times. In 1939, a radio engineer named Herbert Lee Wilson, came to Vermont. He was a pioneer in the AM radio field and built radio stations all over the world. He was looking for a new location to build another station and a summer home for his family. He purchased the estate and the history of Wilson’s Castle officially starts. In the early 1940’s, Col. Wilson was noted for his engineering and radio work in Vermont. He designed radio station WHWB, owned by the Wilson’s and Charles Bates through the Central Vermont Broadcasting Corporation. Other radio work included WSYB in Rutland, Vermont which had the first directional antenna in the state of Vermont. Col. Wilson also provided engineering on WCAX channel 3 television station in Burlington, Vermont.
When America joined WWII in 1941, Herbert Wilson joined the Army Signal Corps, from which he retired in the 1950’s as rank of Colonel. He retired to the castle, and in 1962, opened it for tours. He passed away in 1981 at the age of 82 and left the estate to his daughter, Blossom Wilson Davine Ladabouche. Blossom passed away in 2010 and currently her daughter Denise Davine is the owner/operator."

Growing in a large pot in our garden, brush your hands against the leaves and the fragrance is heavenly! The leaves are delicious in recipes too.
'Rosemary' has lived with us for years, 'she's' a bit of an old gal now... and If you believe the info below...we shall always be in love and never go bald!! Working so far, what more could you ask for!!!:)))))))
In Elizabethan England (1500s to 1600s), herbs and flowers were thought to have magical powers and medicinal benefits before they had culinary appeal.
Elizabethan superstitions hold that Rosemary was an all purpose plant. Placed under a pillow, it banished nightmares. Worn in the hair, it was said to enhance memory or pledge fidelity. (Recent research shows rosemary does stimulate memory.) The English said, "Smell it oft -- it shall keep thee youngly." The more pragmatic gentleman, however, rubbed rosemary oil on the pate (scalp) to counter baldness.
One tradition continues: Tapping a fresh rosemary sprig against the finger of a loved one was thought to secure affection. Friends still exchange rosemary as an expression of fondness.
HMM! :))

The rosemary grasshopper (Schistocerca ceratiola) is a Florida endemic, found only on dry, sandy ridges on the Florida peninsula. It only occurs on one type of plant, the Florida rosemary (Ceratiola ericoides). It is one of the rarest and most difficult to find of all grasshoppers.
This one was found by my friend Cayley Buckner on a field trip with Erika and I and her parents, Jim and Mary Buckner, in the Ancient Island Scrub area of the Ocala National Forest in Marion County, FL on 9/13/17.
It is an adult male on a Florida rosemary plant.
Beautiful these may be, but they are not native to the UK and strip the stalks of Rosemary, Lavender etc, breaking the stems and destroying the plant if allowed to breed and multiply on a bush.

From Organic Facts... Did you know? The most interesting health benefits of rosemary include its ability to boost memory, improve mood, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, protect the immune system, stimulate circulation, detoxify the body, protect the body from bacterial infections, prevent premature aging, and heal skin conditions. WOW!
A well established Rosemary plant in our garden, flowering in the January frost.

Growing well by the wall of the old supermarket and it smelt heavenly too.
I'll have to take some scissors out with me next time and take some cuttings for us.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
As for rosemary, I let it run all over my garden walls, not
only because my bees love it but because it is the herb
sacred to remembrance and to friendship, whence a
sprig of it hath a dumb language.

There are about 80 listed buildings in Charlwood, more than any other village in Surrey. Built in 1642, Rosemary Cottage is one of nine surviving 'smoke bay houses' in the village.
This is a tiny flower from a Rosemary plant in the garden. I cut a small piece off to bring inside to photograph.
It's a 50 photo focus stack. I've used my Nikon Z6ii with a Nikkor 105mm macro lens and 1.4x teleconverter. It's in natural light.

Pest or metallic beauty?! I know to gardeners the Rosemary Beetle (Chrysolina americana) is a pest, but I love these metallic beauties!
Rosemary Beetles are native to the Mediterranean region of southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. The shipping of herbs around Europe has enabled them spread to new countries. The first rosemary beetle in the UK was found in Cheshire in 1963, then three more were discovered in Surrey in 1994. After that they quickly spread and became common around London. Now they are found widely across the UK, being widespread and common in England, particularly the southwest. They are more patchily distributed in Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, but are likely to continue spreading. They are also found on the Isle of Man.
The Rosemary Beetle is a small, shiny beetle with metallic green and purplish-red stripes along its back. The head and section of the body behind it are metallic green with some reddish markings. The legs are a pale reddish colour. Rosemary Beetle larvae have a fat, slug-like grey body with dark stripes. They have a dark head and dark legs, and can grow up to 8 mm long.
As might be expected by their common name Rosemary Beetles feed on the leaves of herbs including rosemary, thyme, and lavender. They can often be found in large numbers on their host plants. They feed actively in spring, but become less active in the warmest months of mid summer. They start feeding again in late summer, when the females lay tiny, sausage-shaped eggs on the underside of the leaves. After hatching, the grey, slug-like larvae also feed on the leaves of herbs. When they're fully grown, the larvae travel down the plant and into the soil to pupate. They emerge as adults in spring, ready to start the cycle all over again. Adults can be present all year.
