I saw an herb farm that had a whole hedge of rosemary. WOW smelled like spaghetti there! I have tried and tried to get my Rosemary plant to grow bigger, but it stays at 8″ it does bloom though.

Such a breath of fresh air during these long, dark days of winter here. I took our garbage out back today for pick-up tomorrow and it's as though summer is frozen in time out there. My yard swing is covered in snow and ice and my little miniature spruce (3 feet tall) is desecated. Our winters are incredibly tough on our plants and only the hardiest survive here. We're Zone 2.

The temperatures in this space usually hover at or above the freezing mark, making it at least a full zone warmer than the zone five outside. This year, however, the cold snap has been so low and so long that I brought all the pots into the house (not before losing two pelagoriums to being frozen stiff.) I've not had much luck with rosemary in the house. I don't know why, but they tend to die when they are brought in. So this year I will wait and see. Up here I find the rosemary blooms the last weeks of February of the first week of March, making a welcome promise of the spring that is just around the corner by then. I hope this year she lasts and blooms for me. Only time will tell. My rosemary winters over on an unheated sunporch.
