Rampant rosemary

Thank you for all the advice. I do have some one year old cuttings that are doing very well, so I might replace it with one of those rather than cut into the brown wood. It has been regularly clipped since I moved here two years ago, but was already too big really, I've lived with it for this long but now I'd like to see some more of my garden

I've got a large rosemary that has got so big it's blocking the view of the garden from the house. Will it re-grow if I give it a very severe haircut into the brown wood? Thanks

Hi I haven't visited my greenhouse in a couple of weeks, but I had some Salvias bought as plugs which I had potted on and they were doing well. Today to my dismay I see that botrytis has rampaged through most of them. What is my best course of action, is it worth applying a chemical fungus fighter to try and save them or should I remove and destroy them so as not to infect the other plants? Any advice on how to stop this happening again would also be helpful, the greenhouse has an automatic vent so air does circulate on warm days. Thanks in anticipation of your responses.
