Rooting Rosemary is quiet easy. If you have rooting hormone powder, that speeds things along.

Thanks for the reminder! I’ll take some cuttings and see if I can get away with not buying any Rosemary plants this upcoming season. (Fat chance! I see herb plants and I fill up the cart!)

Pro Tip: Look for potted herbs in your Grocery Produce Section. My Super-Duper Walmart usually has a rack of them for sale at one end of the aisle. They are actually $1 CHEAPER than buying them in their Garden Center!

I’ve purchased Mint, Rosemary and Basil - then made new roots from Basil cuttings to expand my summer crop in the garden. Also - a pot of Basil usually has 4-5 individual plants in it. You can gently tease them apart and plant separately.

MWH is the Queen of Rooting Basil!

Ha! - mine always poops out in late January, just not enough sun on the windowsill. I just bought 10 pounds of beef suet at our local butcher/slaughterhouse. It was a single chunk a little over 10 pounds. Impressive! I don’t make seed cakes though. Started out the winter with 49 commercial suet seed cakes, only have a dozen or so left - the woodpeckers have been hungry. So I opted for a huge chunk, have it in a container in the garage and slice off some when I need it.
