About This Episode
A reader has trouble keeping a rosemary plant alive.
Plus, Grumpys veggie garden tip of the week.
Question Of The Week
Every spring, I buy a rosemary plant.
Every fall, I bring it indoors.
Every December, I throw the poor dead thing out.
It’s terribly embarrassing.
It needs a sunny window and it needs well-drained soil.
So, you should only water it after the top inch of soil in the pothas gone dry.
Now, I have no idea how your granny kept it alive in a cold dark attic.
Maybe she practicesthe dark arts.
And the first things that come to my mind are greens.
And these are things like,kaleand collards, mustard greens, turnip greens and spinach.
Because the seeds germinate well once the nights get a little cooler.
They grow better in cooler temperatures.
Uh, they grow quickly.
