April 14


It's in the mid-40s today.  The plants slept outside last night.  I took them out of the greenhouse and they're drinking up the light rain showers.


I really don't know much about gardening, but I'm learning.  Last year I cut rosemary from the plants I had and brought them inside and put them in water, thinking they would keep better in the kitchen that way.  To my surprise, the stems started sprouting roots! So, since I'm having trouble getting the rosemary seeds to sprout, I bought one small rosemary plant for $3.48.  I trimmed 8 sturdy stems and put them in water with a bit of Miracle Grow in it.


Then I planted the original plant in one of my hanging baskets. I can move it into the greenhouse on cold nights, if necessary.  Hopefully, I'll have 8 additional plants to put outside when it gets warm enough to plant.  They'll probably go in planters close to the house. Not bad for $3.48!
