I have had no success in trying to grow rosemary indoors. Outdoors has been no problem. It’s kinda disappointing, because the smell of rosemary is so nice.

Someone told me the climate indoors in the winter is often too dry for Rosemary.

I have some new seeds for indoor pots, so I need to dig those out sometime this week. I need to clean off my cart and recover it with aluminum foil first, but I have room for 5 or 6 pots for herbs etc.

Wish our cold air was over. While the weather is nice today, our coldest days are in front of us.

Every year I try to coax my rosemary through the winter inside, but it always croaks. Keeping one alive is apparently tricky, and I have not learned the tricks. I am intrigued by a reported hardier rosemary that might come through a Z6 winter with protection.

Instead of seeds, just put a couple of inches of dirt onto the limbs laying on the ground. They will set roots very quickly. I let the limbs just fall to the ground and cut them off just above the roots.
