I love rosemary but great plants are hard to find so I am growing my own.

Day 12 - Finally I have a rosemary sprout!

So the rosemary was taking forever because it is notoriously hard to germinate!

I did some research online and came across a website that suggested that we soak the rosemary seeds in water for a few hours before planting. I did and planted them on April 8, 2009 and today we have a new sprout! I am now a fan of the pre-sown soak!

Rosemary   

I got tired of waiting for these 2 little sprouts so when  I was at Home Depot today and I saw this amazing little guy in a peat pot I had to bring him home. I repotted it and the little sprouts with them!

I need to buy one too. but need to debate on planting it outside or keep indoor in a pot.  Love rosemary with lamb or roasted potatoes. 

SS6 to Mom (Jan 09) and AG3 to sister (May 09).  Own SS6 (Apr 09) with salad green/brassicas.  1 red/black & 1 black AG3 to be planted (May 09) and await pickup for white AG3 and black AG6.

Yea I cheated and I'm proud of it! It was either buy this one for $3.48 or buy another pack of seeds & I was already into the rosemary seed companies for 2 packs at 1.59 each which only netted me 2 sprouts which are still growing I might Mr Peat!

1 of the 2 sprouts I transplanted with the new bought rosemary didnt make it but 2 new sprouts appeared! Now I get to watch how rosemary grows from seed after all!
