Rosemary

Mine is not very happy at all and with all the rain we are getting isn't helping I suspect.

The backstory for my question can be read here:

My current one is probably going to be dead in the next month or so because the roots are too damaged so I got two replancement ones from work for a quid. So my question in how to plant these two so they survive? My crurrrent one is in a pot with loads of sand and grit to improve drainage.

My greek oregano sailed through without any problems as did lavender and sage, The thyme in the same pot seems to have perked up now. All of these pots were huddled together against a wall without any saucers. It just shows that you live and learn. I thought that would be enough for them

A colleague of mine is selling 6 in plants for 50p so I am getting two of those. As for taking cuttings what is the best way of doing that? Couple of shoots, removing the lower leaves followed by some rooting hormone and plonk in a well rained pot?

Would it be possible to have a tick box so you can track a topic you are interested in but not want to post on. It would be quite handy. I like to read about things but not alwasy have anything useful to post on the thread.

It looked better the other day but I think it is in terminal decline. Quite a lot of leaves have spot on them. I think you're right about frost but still find it odd that the rosemary got hit but not the herbs in an identical pot.

Ah. I thought this was that. Where do I find this?

A tick box to allow you to track a thread would be a nice feature. Posting blank or other sounds kinda silly but perhaps necessary.

Is there a way of tracking a thread without having to post on it. Couldn't see any obvious way of doing this.

Looked at the rootball this weekend and there are the odd healfy root but most of them seemed brown. Didn't dare to rim it as it would have left it without any roots but I opened up the rootball and also put in more grit and sand in the pot plus a bit of crockery in the bottom to make it drain better. Sadly the torrential rain today hasn't done me any favours. We were talking ark building weather in Bristol
