Experience I have been growing herbs organically for 27 years. I have also written and self-published, loose leaf binder, "Herbmans Journal". 2008 is my last year at Smile Herb Shop. I plan to grow herbs in my small back yard and sell at David's Natural Store in Columbia, Md. on saturdays. I also will return to the Baltimore Herb Festival in May 2009(memorial day weekend).I used the word organically grown, but the state came into the picture and stated that I could not use the word unless I become certified & paid a $300.00 fee. I decided to add to my name (99% chemical-free) since nothing on this planet is 100%, except Jesus Christ, taxes & death. My customers were satisfied with this instead of paying a large fee and raising my prices,with no guarantee that it is organic except for a label.Their belief was in my word.
Question I have had a rosemary bush planted in a LARGE pot for two years or more and it was doing wonderful, up until a few weeks ago. I live on the coast of NC, and it seems that when the weather began to get really hot the plant suddenly began dying. I thought maybe it needed to be re-potted so I did that and trimmed off all the dead branches. It still continued to die. I still have a few live(green) branches. Did I help the dying process by re-potting and can you help me save my rosemary? I wanted to keep it alive (I've had it so long) until I buy a house soon so I can put it in the ground. Please help!
Answer Krista:
The weather most likely made the change in your rosemary. Sometimes when it doesn't receive water on a regular schedule, it will start to die. Feed with a liquid fish fertilizer every 3 weeks. This may keep it going. Water it at the same time if you don't have any weekly rain.
