We really enjoy them for winter soups.<br /><br />Most of my perennial herbs were purchased plants. Most of the perennial herbs I have had for many many years. Every once in a while something will die though.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-81839717854281280792011-01-31T04:02:35.498-05:002011-01-31T04:02:35.498-05:00The gardening season has started finally!

But then the plant grows larger and develops all of the typical rosemary characteristics. I like to start new plants every 6 months so I can use the rosemary in this early and tender stage. <br /><br />I started some new seeds in mid-November and they're ready to transplant now. Germinating rosemary is somewhat similar to germinating celery - it takes a little while to get growing but then it takes off.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438167207270942090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-89548368820550780872011-01-30T22:21:50.970-05:002011-01-30T22:21:50.970-05:00It is better to have too many salad greens than no...It is better to have too many salad greens than not enough!

I have lettuce, spinach, and some herbs growing under the lights. I think I can harvest a mini-salad soon.<br /><br />I have never had success growing rosemary from seeds so I usually purchase a plant each year from the nursery. I keep it in a pot so I can bring in inside in the fall. Usually they die over winter, but so far so good with this last one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129119492962711399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-40285275479860297172011-01-29T11:13:43.558-05:002011-01-29T11:13:43.558-05:00Malay girl, I wish that it was summer here!!
