I like Rosemary as it flowers early which is a help for insects out early in the year.
My new rosemary bush - in the front garden - in its third year has yet to have a single flower, but I noticed this morning that a rosemary in the front garden around the corner has flowers on. This is later than I remember the rosemary bush I had in the back garden used to flower.
You are not supposed to feed and water rosemary too much, but one year my neglect went too far and the rosemary in a pot in the back garden died. I had another, newer, rosemary that a fox used to sleep on, so it looked like a postrate variety, and then it got covered up by a large geranium and that died too!
Not much for insects in the front garden but crocus, primroses and primulas, a few wall flowers, and daffodils just beginning to open in the back garden. My neighbours forsythia which is right by my fence is also just beginning to break into flower.
