I got lavender seeds started and am going to take cuttings from a rosemary plant I managed to not kill off this winter, so I can root them. I hear it’s easier than starting rosemary from seed.
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!
I picked up a package of english lavendar seeds this morning. Have not seen them before at out local store ever. I researched lavendar last summer and want to plant some around our birdbath. I’ve read that starting from seed is difficult which is why I just bought one packet to try. Did you just use regular seed starter? I have a backup lady who comes to our farmers market 30 minutes away. Last summer she said she will have potted english lavendar plants.
