It is Tuscan Blue, hardy to about -10, so I keep it in a big pot on wheels and roll it into the garage if the weather is too cold. So nice to be able to cut a branch when making chicken or pot roast.2 Trampshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721390235821161265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-73511834352059964122010-01-08T16:26:58.555-06:002010-01-08T16:26:58.555-06:00I've been so slow this year, I haven't got...I've been so slow this year, I haven't got round to ordering any seeds yet.Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-42092148051348647832010-01-06T20:44:16.051-06:002010-01-06T20:44:16.051-06:00I've had problems overwintering over rosemary ...I've had problems overwintering over rosemary here in Southern IL, we are zone 6 but barely. The one time I did it correctly was the one time I didn't take it with me as my roomies wanted it :( It was heavily surrounded by mulched leaves, etc that fall which I think was the keyJederahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895768255456913584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-21613791381692939652010-01-06T14:55:38.796-06:002010-01-06T14:55:38.796-06:00Maybe if you plant the rosemary near your house fo...Maybe if you plant the rosemary near your house foundation to keep it warmer. We're not too far away from each other, and I know that the small garden bed against my south foundation seems to rarely freeze.<br />As for purple tomatoes, I have grown Pruden's Purple as well as Cherokee Purple. Cherokee was darker (I think Pruden's was more pinkish) & had good flavor.<br />Hope you are able to dig out from all the snow that is heading our way!

I've meant to do it for 2 years now and never have. After learning more about herbal teas and remedies I think it would definitely be worth the time. Good luck with your planning! :)Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171797412090628520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-69616126054598308552010-01-06T14:31:44.173-06:002010-01-06T14:31:44.173-06:00I see you are about to be hit by more snow today a...I see you are about to be hit by more snow today and tonight-then is heading our way!<br /><br />Be safe and warm!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788740577135090145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-6561827608175183372010-01-06T07:39:57.084-06:002010-01-06T07:39:57.084-06:00My sister lives in Virginia and she said her rosem...My sister lives in Virginia and she said her rosemary grows like wild fire and sometimes has to pull some up because it will over take her herb garden.

I'm surprised! It is not huge, but its still out there. I'm not sure what happens over the winter and how it comes out in the spring though. You've got much colder temps though! As Erin said, if you're doing seeds, why not go for it? Maybe start with a small patch first though.... who knows?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-87125540848530330532010-01-05T22:07:32.403-06:002010-01-05T22:07:32.403-06:00Oh my, you have made me want to get my catalogs. l...Oh my, you have made me want to get my catalogs. lol I am so looking forward to another year in the garden.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685887988265673434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-8818393288389129422010-01-05T21:12:29.830-06:002010-01-05T21:12:29.830-06:00Judy, be careful with the Rosemary!

I would say if you are buying a plant, save your money, but if from seed, why not?!! Wish I could give you mine, it's so damn hardy here it blooms all winter and creates a huge hedge. I am more than a little upset that I won't be able to grow it when we move back north. Things will change for sure. Hope you are having fun with your catalogs, an herb garden sounds wonderful!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
