WHAT TO DO NEXT
When large enough prick out into a 5cm pot, gradually harden off and plant out any time from May to September. The ideal time to plant out rosemary is April. Prefers light, well-drained soil in full sun. Rosemary prefers a slightly limey soil (the opposite of acid) because this results in smaller plants with more fragrant leaves. It will stand severe frosts if conditions are not windy and wet as well. Rosemary does not like to have its roots disturbed so leave as much of the root ball undisturbed as possible. Water well if the conditions are at all dry.
HARVEST
Cut off portions of branches and dry in an airing cupboard. When brittle the leaves may be rubbed off into a container. The leaves can be harvested at any time. Harvest no more than you can use fresh, as they lose most of their flavour when dried.
USES
Rosemary and lamb go well together. Use the dried leaves as potpourri and in sachets to scent clothes and linen and deter moths.
HANDY TIP
Rosemary helps to deter cabbage moths, bean beetles and carrot flies, so is useful grown as a companion plant for cabbage, beans carrots and sage.
