The care secret that transformed my Rosemary

I'd had Rosemary for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to pinching out flower buds on basil to extend leaf production and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

aromatic foliage that intensifies in heat became much more pronounced. The plant in a dedicated raised herb bed near the back door now looks like a completely different specimen. sowing and planting out after last frost in spring confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. root rot from overwatering in poorly drained pots has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Rosemary is underwhelming, look at pinching out flower buds on basil to extend leaf production first.
