10. Seasonal Care Tips
During the growing season, rosemary benefits from regular feeding with a balanced liquid fertilizer every four to six weeks. In colder climates, bring the plant indoors before the first frost, as rosemary is sensitive to freezing temperatures.
When indoors, place the plant in a bright, sunny location and reduce watering to prevent overwatering. In spring, gradually acclimate the plant to outdoor conditions before moving it back outside.
11. Harvesting and Using Rosemary
Harvest rosemary by snipping off the top few inches of the stems, ensuring you leave enough foliage for the plant to continue growing. Regular harvesting encourages new growth and keeps the plant healthy.
Use fresh rosemary in a variety of dishes, from roasted meats to savory breads. You can also dry the leaves for later use by hanging the stems upside down in a cool, dry place. Store dried rosemary in an airtight container to preserve its flavor
