Rosemary Christmas Trees
You’ve probably seen those rosemary plants trimmed to look like little Christmas trees. They sell them at the home improvement stores, discount stores and even the grocery store. Not only are they are great for gifts or decorating the house, they are perfect for starting your herb garden.
After the holidays, transplant your rosemary into a larger pot with good drainage. Use good quality soil.
Most varieties won’t tolerate freezing conditions. In areas where there is a chance of freezing temperatures, you can keep it indoors as a houseplant – just make sure it gets plenty of sun and water – year round.
In more temperate climates, keep it indoors until the weather starts to warm up – usually by the end of March. That way the transition from warm to cold won’t be severe.
A fresh sprig of rosemary in soup, for roasting or on the grill or will enhance any meal.
