Rosemary

50 seeds

1. Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before the last frost in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep.

2. Germination: Keep the soil moist and expect germination in 2–3 weeks at 65–75°F.

3. Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them outdoors in late spring after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18–24 inches apart.

4. Light: Provide full sun for optimal growth.

5. Watering: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Rosemary prefers well-drained, slightly sandy soil and does not like wet feet.

6. Harvesting: Harvest rosemary once the plant is well-established, typically 3–4 months after planting, by snipping the leaves as needed.

Rosemary is perfect for gardeners looking to grow a hardy, flavorful herb that can be used in cooking, teas, or even for its ornamental value in landscapes.
