We grow them to smell them...not to use!

This past Sunday, I was at my parents house. On their deck, they have huge flower pots filled with different herbs...3 or 4 different kinds of basil and rosemary. So I asked my mom if she ever grilled on top of fresh rosemary. She replies "No. We don't use the rosemary to cook". Which then sparked my curiosity to ask about the basil. Again...she said no. Ummm...okay....so then why do you grow it? Their answer - "We grow them to smell them...not to use!". SERIOUSLY??? Ugh...family!

The basil and rosemary I took because apparently I am the only one who uses it!
