Notes

The date given is for the first plant. A second plant was added at least 5 years later.

Planted in pots. Sometimes on north-facing balcony and sometimes on south-facing balcony.

Rosemary really likes this climate. There are actually hedges of rosemary in the parking lot. I'd previously grown rosemary in Massachusetts and it was very slow-growing, but in California it grows much faster.

2013-08-24: Retired the older plant, as it was pretty scraggly and not very flavorful.

2014-01-05: Added new plant.

2014-08-30: Added another new plant, as the one from January is healthy but not yet very productive, and the other old one is waning in flavor. Retired the old plant.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
