I just bought a rosemary plant about 2 weeks ago and now some part of it started to turned brown. I water it every morning. Is there anything I can do to revive it?

Hi Katherine, I grow my Rosemary more as an annual and don’t get too fussy over fertilizing it. If you’d like I’m sure it would appreciate side-dressing with compost or worm castings. Or you could apply a dose of a liquid organic fertilizer once a month or so, especially if the plant in grown in a container.

When should rosemary be fed, if at all?

What is the best food and time of feeding for rosemary?

Thanks very much.

Katherine

Hi Chris, thanks for purchasing my eBook and sharing your comments about it. I’m afraid that Rosemary isn’t very reliable when it comes to surviving the winter outdoors in PA and I haven’t had much success over-wintering them. They are even temperamental when brought inside as they are not too happy about living inside the home either. I think you should hold off on covering the strawberries, here’s a Penn State link on mulching them for winter protection: http://solutions.psu.edu/Agriculture_846.htm. Good luck!

Hi Kenny. I really enjoyed using your books this year when I built some raised beds. I have a couple fall questions if I might. I live in Pittsburgh, PA and love growing rosemary. I normally do it in pots, but this year I planted a few in my raised beds. They are doing well, as if possible I would like to just leave them in teh garden vs digging them up and moving them inside. Is that possible in our climate? I also grew strawberries this year. I am planning on covering them with straw and bird netting (it gets windy on the top of the hill where I live). When should I do that? I have heard that I should wait till a solid freeze before I cover them, but some people also say to cover them sooner.

Thanks,
Chris

I was definitely sad to say farewell to my rosemary plant at the end of the season last year — I’d love to grow one in the house, but I just don’t have the right kind of light for it, I don’t think. But rosemary is a wonderful plant — I love how it looks, and definitely love how it smells and tastes!
