Dumb Question for Herb Gardeners
OK, the frost is going to hit us strong later in the week. I have some rosemary in a pot and I'm wondering what to do with it. Pick it and freeze it, dry it, try to keep it growing inside? Help! LOL

Re: Dumb Question for Herb Gardeners
If you have room, just bring it inside. It should grow for a while yet and you can harvest a few leaves at a time without killing the plant.

yep, just bring it insude and take care of it. It should survive for many years to come. My rosemary tree( I call it a tree, 6 ft tall plant) survived salt water.

Agreed. It's a mediterainian plant so a MI winter probably wouldn't do it much good, but it should be ok indoors and you can still use the fresh rosemary as needed.

Thanks guys, I just brought it in. Houseplants tend to hate my house so I hope it makes it through the winter.

If you have trouble with it, just pick it and dry it. Then use it as a dried herb. Keeps in your cabinet in a sealed bag or jar, after it is fully dry.
