Rosemary is super easy to overwater. You have to remember that it is a plant from a semiarid region used to long dry spells and sudden heavy rains. I would let it go a week or so and then pour in a cup of water. If the water sinks right in then you are doing it right.

If you have a lavender plant same thing goes, in fact you can plant them in the same area.

I do have lavender and have always wondered why some thrived and other plants didn’t.

The ones in the front lawn, which is on the shadeless south side of the house are parched and ENORMOUS.

Time to move the few remaining ones from out back while there’s still hope for them.

I will definitely keep that in mind with the rosemary. Last fall, the plant was doing so well, I didn’t have the heart to let it die, so I put it in a pot and it managed pretty well until this winter. Once it looked dead, I’ve basically ignored it and just haven’t bothered watering it since. Maybe there is still hope for it then. I’ll give it a try.

Nope, its a goner.

I just checked the the plant is totally dried out and the soil is still wet.

Time to just harvest the leaves and get a new one.
