11 Hacks to Grow Most Flavorful and Thriving Rosemary
12.07.2024 - 15:17 / balconygardenweb.com
Rosemary is one of the easiest herbs to grow if you grow it right; if not, it can be a bit tricky to maintain and even harder to keep in the pink of its health. Discover those right things in this article to grow the most flavorful, productive, and thriving rosemary plant.
Rosemary plants love to sunbathe under intense, full sunlight for at least 7-8 hours a day. So, if you see your rosemary losing its charm or if its distinctive aroma does not overwhelm you, the reason may be a lack of exposure to sunlight.
Sunlight helps the plant maintain a healthy form and produce the essential oil that exudes the famous fragrance and gives the leaves its flavor. Find out the sunniest location in your garden and locate your rosemary there.
If you’re growing it indoors, keep this herb in a south-facing window so it gets what it needs. If it is hard to fulfill the sunlight requirement naturally, try investing in LED grow lights to supplement it.
Rosemary plants hate wet feet, so using containers with good drainage is a must. This helps the plant by reducing the risk of root rot and prevents the collection of unused or unabsorbed water at the bottom of the pot, which can lead to fungal diseases.
If you’re growing it on the ground, select a sloppy spot where water never accumulates and drains down quickly.
Make sure that the rosemary pot you choose has drainage holes at the bottom. Shredded leaves or organic matter in the soil can also help increase drainage.

Here's How to Organize and Store Old Photos
Ever since my grandpa passed away this past May, my family has been processing our grief by sharing stories and wiping the dust off the many photo albums piled up in my grandparents’ garage. At one point, their dining room table was completely covered in photos dating all the way back to the 1930s. Most of them had multiple copies, too, and when we talked about how to best preserve and store them, I immediately thought of Amanda Titchenal, the organizing pro behind full-service organizing firm Well Organized.

Landscape Ideas for the Southeast Inspired by Gardens Abroad
If you have the good fortune to travel to other countries and see how other parts of the world garden, you know that it can be inspiring. I usually return from travel wanting to incorporate what I have seen into my own garden. Often, foreign travel takes us to climates vastly different than what we experience in the Southeastern United States. Our unique combination of hot humid summers and wet winters makes this a singular place to garden. One of the best parts of gardening is experimentation. I have both succeeded and failed in many garden endeavors. This often happens when I try and replicate something I have seen during foreign travel that cannot be done in my climate successfully. Here I’ve compiled a few memorable lessons and ideas I’ve gained after visiting more than 20 countries on a quest to see the best gardens on the globe.

Tips and Tricks for Growing Bougainvillea
Mention bougainvillea to almost anyone, and their first images may be of sun-drenched stucco walls festooned in the neon colors of the tropics. From beachside to desert to lush tropics, their exotic vibe proclaims, “I love warm weather!” In the relatively small Nyctaginaceae family, Bougainvillea is likely the best-known member, with Mirabilis (four-o’clock) and Abronia (sand verbena) being runners up. With bougainvilleas, the color is provided by papery bracts that enclose a small white bloom that is the true flower. Flowering occurs in cycles: as a burst of new growth matures, a bloom cycle begins, repeating many times over the course of a long, hot season. Learn the basics of growing bougainvillea here.
