Full sun 6-8 hours, good drainage, just plant and enjoy.
Rosemary is a perennial. Plant it somewhere it can grow big, as it will with care. http://www.wvu.edu/~agexten/hortcult/herbs/ne208hrb.htm http://www.savvygardener.com/Features/herbs.html

Jamie is right on the ball, Chip. I've grown my herbs where nothing else will grow because the drainage was so poor. They didn't care.
Take that with a grain of salt, though. Some herbaceous material can tolerate just about anything, others need good husbandry. I can think of a lot that can grow in a mud puddle, though. ![]()

I got Lisa's flower bed planted full of wildflowers a couple weeks ago and they're all coming up great. It should be quite a display once I work in the osteospermum and impatiens and cosmos and tobacco and whatever else we started downstairs. It'll look like a unicorn threw up a rainbow. I usually don't like that kind of thing, but I'm looking forward to it
![]() Our plants in the plant starting stand are in dire need of transplanting. I have the flats full of dirt and ready for transplanting, I just need to drag the woman down there and get it done.

I had to break out sprinklers today for first time. All that early rain I had last year is MIA this year (so far).

Third night in a row it's down to 22 here, and everything has started growing already. Christmas tree lights and trash bags over the Peonies, some of which already have buds. Hopefully everything else will be hardy enough. A few daffodils might not be too lucky.

DO NOT plant cilantro with them. It will take over quick.

We used to have cilantro come up yearly but it has been MIA since I went to boxes. Fresh parsley is garden candy.
I have to get a picture of my raspberries. It was one little plant last year and now it's a whole 4x6 box. |

![]() ![]() Nope, I didn't plant it. And nope, I can't be around it. The bane of us highly sensitive gardeners. Poison Ivy. This sh$t has pestered me since I can remember being on this planet. I'm weed eating Saturday under a large palmetto with leaves drooped to the ground, just slinging weed debris everywhere. Then I see it...two feet high growing next to the trunk, so I backed out. Didn't want any part of it. I figured I'd spray it on the next lap around the property with Round Up. By yesterday afternoon, I have several patches coming to life, with a big patch under my bicep on my right arm. That means I have about another week of "guess where the next patch comes out." I truly despise this plant, above all others, in the flora kingdom. To boot, it's under my watch band.

Cliff, I was reading about that. It still seems pretty new. Most write ups were from early April of this year. If it's real, I say give the inventor his billion and early retirement. I'll line up for the crazy kool aid. I was reading were people self-vaccinate by eating young leaves. Are the f'in crazy?? It would surely kill me. Also read where Round Up is only moderately effective. Thinking about painting the 36% concentrate on the leaves with a brush. I found several patches of it this afternoon when I got home.
I've swabbed down with vinegar twice since supper. It works a little better than nothing. There's also a new spot on my knee and on my ankle. I have some prescription triamcinolone from a few years ago and it slows down the itch. Hopefully I can stay on top of it and keep it manageable. Eat it, my azz!!

I'm like you, I pick it by hand. As long as I wash up well after and I'm careful where I touch. Bleach was what I used on the rash when I got it. Benadryl internally and cortisone topically works great. I think there is a cream ointment of those two drugs. Cortadryl or Bensidrone or something. |

Fortunately, I'm completely immune to it. 2 years ago when we were camping, I figured I would test it. I rubbed the leaves all over my arms, even mushing it up and getting the juice on me. Nothing.
I'm pretty fortunate, I guess. Some people get crazy breakouts |

Rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage and a bunch others are from hot climates.
Basil will bolt, bloom and die back, but you can keep it pinched. Most love the heat. |
