    ​@@smarterthanawafflehonestly Rosemary is so easy to grow and it comes back year after year (zone 8b here) that I just clip the rosemary from anywhere and it doesn't damage the plant. It's one of my favorite plants to grow. Thyme is super easy too.

    mint is an extremely aggressive spreader, it will be very hard to get rid of if in the ground. if your yard is full of mint for example, you may need to dig through the grass and de root any and every piece of mint you see. completely replacing the top 12" of soil will also remove the mint roots and clear up your yard.

    Spread them around the garden, either put them in their own individual pots, or plant them in ground nearby other plants. I recommend basil and chives with tomatoes, sage and rosemary with peppers, dill nearby both peppers and tomatoes will be great, if you have an idea just do a quick google to get some info on how different plants can interact in the garden

    Can you talk about how to have rosemary grow into a beautiful bush that lasts for years or decades? My rosemary always dies over the winter, but I see it on properties sometimes as the most gorgeous bush. I would love to have that one day. P.s. I am in south coast British Columbia climate. But I have seen it successfully growing this way. Thanks!

    Oh my gosh, I had a rosemary plant that was over ten years old. It was basically a small pine tree! It had been in this regular sized terracotta pot for over 8 years though, and it never looked poorly but I finally got it in my mind that I needed to get it into a different pot because it was surely root bound and needed new soil. Well, I go to try and pick it up- and I come to find that the taproot had grown through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and deep into the soil beneath! It was stuck in there real good, and I tried everything I could to pull it out of the ground safely, but it ended up snapping. The rosemary died shortly after despite setting it up in a new much larger pot, and I'll never forgive myself for that :(

    Not really. It's not like he cut it off. The leaf will still continue to grow, albeit smaller than it would have been. It won't affect the plant much, just accidentally snipping a piece of a leaf.

    If you break off a piece of basil you can stick it in the ground and get a new plant. By the second day you can see little hairs coming out from the stem, new roots for the new plant. I accidentally discovered that when I was working in my herb garden and accidentally broke off a long stem. I stuck it into the ground, aggravated at myself, forgot about it by the time I’d worked all my other beds. I found it the next day, pulled it up and the leaves weren’t dying on it so I stuck it back into the ground. The next day I checked it and saw the little root growth. My sweet basil that year got to almost four feet high and was huge in girth.
