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.”

Thanks, I’ll have to do a double check on the soil. I have a moisture tester somewhere.
I have always thought that since rosemary is favored in Italian cooking, it favors Italy.
which means letting the roots slightly dry out (really good drainage) , with infrequent watering.
Also, I let the water sit for a day for normal temperature regulation, and to let the fluoride (in water treatment) to evaporate out.
