Your Rosemary Needs This Before Frost - Even Dead Rosemary Comes Back To Life

📕 Get a beautiful perennial garden with less watering, fewer costly mistake from Henry’s Garden Blueprint: https://henrysgardensecrets.com/ Five dollars for a little pot of rosemary in May. By August it's a real bush. Then the nights get cold, it comes inside before the frost, gets watered like always - and by Christmas it's a brown stick. The answer is almost never December. It gets decided in October, in a handful of small moves that feel careful and are exactly wrong for this plant. In this video: the nine things that decide whether your rosemary makes it through winter, and how to tell if a brown one is really dead. IN THIS VIDEO Why the fall feed and the October trim backfire · why your frost date matters more than your zone · which rosemary can stay in the ground ('Arp', found in Arp, Texas, in 1972) · when a new pot helps and when it hurts · the slow move indoors that saves more plants than anything else · the pests that ride in with it · the brightest window in the coolest room · watering: never soggy, never bone dry · the scratch test, and why you never cut into brown wood. 📅 THE TIMELINE IN ONE LINE Look up the average first frost date for your ZIP code, then plan two weeks earlier. The move indoors starts about three weeks before that frost: two weeks in the shade outside, then a week of in-and-out. IS IT DEAD? Scrape a little bark with your fingernail. Green and moist underneath = alive. Check near the tips, halfway down, and near the base. Rosemary doesn't regrow from bare brown wood, so wait for spring and cut back only to green. 💬 COMMENT: Has your rosemary ever looked perfect in September and been dead by Christmas?
