When you say mold, what did the mold look like? Little white fuzzy things on the ends on the stem side? I looked at that under a microscope, and it looks like that is the male portion of the plant. When you look at it under a microscope, you will see two white fuzzy pods on each side of the main stem, at the base of the leaves. Not every leaf will have them, but I noticed that every 4 to 5 inches, you will see these white fuzzy object coming out of the stem.

I have harvested some that are only 3-5 inches. Is that a problem?

5:50 Do you wash it before drying?

So, once I have dried the rosemary and I have pulled it off the stem, should I put the leafs into food processor to turn it into a powder or salt ?

Very informative, thank you! What would you suggest for potted rosemary as far as bringing it inside or not during the months ahead?(I live in Illinois which gets pretty cold in the winter and it's already around30 degrees) Also can you harvest during the fall and winter if it's inside?

@TheRipeTomatoFarms

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Kaitlyn! I'm in Canada and I have never brought it inside. Albeit, we are on the west coast, so it is quite mild. Rosemary is quite tolerant of cold zones with most varieties sold in your area probably hardy to Zone 5. If you are bringing it inside, you can definitely harvest no problem all year. You can actually harvest when the plant is cold and dormant....its the time BEFORE dormancy that is the most challenging because the act of cutting causes the plant to branch out new growth. That new growth will freeze and die if you do that too late in the season. Indoors, you should be ok though!

Hello. I should search for info first, however, I cut my rosemary at the freeze temperatures. Did I kill my plant?

@TheRipeTomatoFarms

Which is better - to dry first, then strip the leaves, or to strip the leaves while green and then dry? It's a lot of work either way, but which is easier, in your opinion, especially when doing a large quantity for drying and grinding to powder later? Thanks.
