Thanks for the ping. We are having some colder days here in Mo. Snow yesterday and today, but not significant accumulation. Only a couple of days of sunshine this week.

I am concerned about my rosemary plant. I had hoped to keep it alive until I could replant it outdoors. Part of it is turning brown.

I have lemons that are ripe enough to pick. I have kept the newest tree’s fruit picked off mostly, because I want more development first.

Catalogs are coming in fast. We now have a roof, and windows and doors on the Shed. The basement room for root cellar is now being insulated. Siding will be when the weather improves.

You are making great progress!

“I am concerned about my rosemary plant. I had hoped to keep it alive until I could replant it outdoors. Part of it is turning brown.”

My rosemary plants are looking like they’re getting powdery mildew. I’m going to see if there’s a quick fix, because they are otherwise very healthy with lots of new growth.

Beau went to town to run some errands and pick up a package for me that was left at the top of the hill by FedEx (he was nervous about driving his big truck down here) and he’s going to get two lottery tickets for the $700 Million drawing tonight.

But, don’t worry. If I win, I WILL come back and say ‘Good Bye’ to everyone!

This says the browning is from watering practices:

Poor Watering Practices

“The second most common reason for an indoor rosemary dying is watering practices. Often, indoor rosemary plants are watered too little or too much. Make sure that the drainage on the container with the rosemary is excellent. Only water the soil when the top of the soil is dry to the touch. But, that being said, never let the soil dry out completely. In the winter, rosemary plants grow much more slowly and need much less water than they do in the summer. Watering too often will cause root rot, which will kill the plant. On the other side, if the soil of the rosemary plant is allowed to dry out completely, the roots will die back and the plant will not have enough roots to support itself.”
