Stops cats ? Not in my yard. I have big too big Rosemary's plants and bushy all over, and it's the cats' best hanging sleeping spot. The Rosemary's plants are 15 years each. I trim them, but they grow fast . I say if you're generous, your hand will make everything grow fast . Even when I go and have my hair trimed, I start a conversation with the stylist, let's say, about a movie , I do make the story up so she can tghrou her opinions all about generous and tight people , and depends on her answer i will decide she is in or out intel I find that generous lady to cut my hair , plants and hair are the same , 😊

[@georgealderson4424]

"Rosemary is dead easy to grow from cuttings." Well with my cuttings, the word "dead" definitely seems to be correct sir! Haha! I took several about 6 weeks ago and put one in water and the rest in general purpose compost. The one in water was about to be evicted and sent to the great herb garden in the sky as I thought it had rotted but just in time I noticed three tiny roots appearing so it is now on parole! As for the others, they seem to be static with little black bits on the ends of their leaves so I have cut them back a bit in the hope that the other end might grow roots (if they have not already done so!) I read that stressing cuttings sometimes encourages growth so I have cursed at them frequently but rather than being stressed I do not think that they are taking me seriously and they have lost the will to live! Incidentally I am in UK.

[@g.e.boroush5176]

SO funny! Let us know the outcome! haha!

[@georgealderson4424]

@@g.e.boroush5176 Well GEB there have been more deaths I am sorry to say but (without wanting to tempt faith) three are still with us in "the land of the living" so far! As for a thyme cutting, it has joined the great herb garden in the sky for some reason. I am not sure if it died through lack of water but my understanding was that it was supposed to prefer arid conditions! Perhaps it was in some pact with the Rosemary and decided to "give up the ghost"? On the other hand, several thyme plants in the garden have been well and truly watered recently and they are looking decidedly ill so in no time there will be no thyme at this rate. On the bright side, some mint looks as though it wants to cover the whole of Northern Europe so "win some, lose some" as they say. I was planting things for the benefit of the bees, butterflies, birds and beasts but it has been so hot then so wet I think most of them have decided to emigrate to a country that knows what sort of weather it wants and sticks to it!

[@Pinkfox56]

@@georgealderson4424 Sounds about right for my area in the west of England. 😂 I knew well enough that mint was very prolific but put just a tiny weak looking bit in my big oak half barrel with other herbs that were well established and it’s taken over. I thought the sage monster growing like crazy would be a good contender to keep it at bay but how wrong can you be. It was the pot I originally bought for a bay tree that was only growing really slowly with small leaves that kept being eaten by various insects. At least that is doing so much better with much bigger healthier leaves and doesn’t seem at all bothered by the fight for space around it between the other herbs. 😊

[@georgealderson4424]

It wouldn't be so bad if some plants fought to survive nevermind tried to take over.

I grow my rosemary in a large pot and prune it every few years to keep it lush and compact. My neighbour planted a single rosemary plant in her front garden and now it has overtaken about a third of the space. It’s a huge monster. She has it pruned once a year to prevent it from engulfing everything else. Your warning about its vigorous growing habits is a wise one.

[@themadsamplist]

I use the branches from pruning. I use woody parts and new growth but new growth roots way better. Take a whole lot of cuttings because not everyting will root. I put them in old used pottingsoil and keep the soil wet. Not moist but wet. Works like a charm. I've been doing this for years. When you want to take a big cutting you should layer a branch. I've used layering a couple of times with succes. I do like to leave it in the ground for about a year. Also when you plant the rosemary it likes poor sandy very good draining soil, little to no watering when it is established and preverably full sun. They like brick walls too because it retains heat at night. And when you prune them each year or every other year the bush grows more compact, has more new growth and looks nicer. That's just a my two cents from the experience I have with rosemary. It's a great plant and super easy. I primarily grow it for the scent and looks.

[@katvsdaedreamz8628]

what is the best way to prune? I live in FL, so the soil in my yard is poor sandy fast draining soil already

[@themadsamplist]

@@katvsdaedreamz8628 After bloom is when I usually prune. Late may, early june. But they can be pruned year round if you want to.But if you want flowers late may early june.Don't cut the whole shrub away but it can take a heavy pruning if necessary.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Thanx themadsamplist! Poor, sandy, well-drained soil for sure! Interesting about the layering! Thank you so much for sharing. I am starting to wonder if Rosemary is like my raspberries in that rooting in soil is a better option than straight water? More air, contact with natural hormones in the soil.. Etc. Food for thought!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@katvsdaedreamz8628 I prune early morning as studies have shown that the rooting hormones are highest in the apex (top) of the plant at that time of day!

[@themadsamplist]

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I don't like rooting in water and get bad results when I try it no matter what plant. And when I do have success I find the transition to soil difficult for the plant. I always use pottingsoil and usually used pottingsoil. That doesn't tend to harden up and doesn't dry out as much. And I keep it wet. Works for me and I've been doing it for years now with rosemary, sage, butterfly bushes, conifers and more. And I like to cover the soil with moss, bark, twigs, leaves and stuff like that to reduce evaporation of water. And I keep them in the shade. Just stuff I found out by trying.

[@mrsclfb9697]

My bush fell over but just kept growing. It’s a little mini hedge now. It was originally a potted plant I bought in the veggie aisle at the grocery store. I cut branches off and make a bed for roasts or chicken or pork. I also keep some of the dried leaves, left whole, to add to brining water. Thanks to you, I’m going to expand to other plants as well as make some cuttings to give away. Thank you so much. 🙂

I have always pruned in fall, and felt defeated when it doubled in size again mid-spring! Pruning those new shoots in the spring seems much more effective, especially if I can pot them up to share. I prefer my rosemary ground to a fine powder, then used as a dry rub with black pepper on a pork loin, cooked long and slow in the smoker. 🤤 As a person with scalp issues, I can use it as a hair rinse to calm things down. Its high oil content makes for excellent homemade smudge\aroma sticks too!

Great Video! Thanks for sharing! Going to use the 5 gallon method to make sure I can get the right spot for it! I guess that's about all I didn't pick up on. I live in Southern Oregon, thanks again for such an informative video!

[@garufia]

I've propagated Rosemary many, many times myself and it is quite easy as stated in this video. I don't even go to the lengths of what is shown in this video (which is helpful don't get me wrong). I've had the best results when cutting stems at 3 and 4 inches in length. I've found that the more woodier parts of the stem is less likely to root in water. Anyway at about the 3 to 4 inch cut area on the stems is the transition zone of the green part of the stem, and woodier part of the stem. But I've even had cuttings root at 1.5 inches or 2 inches in length as well.

Not knowing how rosemary grows, I planted a tiny plant near my front door close to ornamental flowering bushes. The rosemary became a massive bush in no time! I have to prune it to keep it for crowding out the other bushes. Of course, it smells amazing and I use it in certain recipes. Thank you for this video on how to grow more using cuttings.

[@patriciatinkey2677]

Thank-you! I just found you today, & subscribed. I've been planting onions that sprouted before I used them- just by sticking them in the yard, but your onion video was very helpful. Now I can eat them & still grow them. Also I've got a big, old rosemary & wanted more, so finding this was super timely. Wishing you well.

I love the rosemary tea

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

I haven't tried that one yet Simone! Recipe?

[@OakKnobFarm]

Easy enough, thanks for sharing. And good point about the rooting hormone. Survival of the fittest is a good thing for your cuttings Our rosemary always seems to croak over the winter - but I've never tried to heavily mulch them.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Whereabouts do you live? How cold are the winters?

[@OakKnobFarm]

We're in NH. We see a typical 0 for a low, with a few days down to -15 here and there. Snow cover probably has a lot to do with it. If there's a lot of snow when it gets cold, the plants do ok. We had brutal cold snap 2 years ago (2 weeks sub-zero) but we had bare ground. It killed our magnolia (my favorite tree in the yard) and a bunch of other things that were well established

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Yeah, wonder if they get either smothered out, or even dried out? Interesting stuff. I wonder if different varieties behave differently as well.

[@OakKnobFarm]

Oh, those temps were F, not C... I forgot you're one of our northern friends :) I'm going to try to look for a more cold hardy variety next time. The snow is a great insulator, and without it I think the roots freeze up a little too solid. Also, you're likely right - the soil would be exposed to the wind, and probably dries out more without snow, too.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Oak Knob Farm ha ha, yeah, it's all Celsius and metric up here! I would think though, that the varieties for sale in your area, even from the big box stores, would be MEANT for your area. Better yet though, hook up with a local colleague that has a thriving specimen, and ask for a cutting or two!

Thanks a lot for the easy tips. Simple and quick. I watched this because my partner just got me some freshly cut rosemary from the public garden. So I thought I need to grow more of my own. I have had failed attempts doing it in the past, I am guessing it could be due to not removing some of the skin of the stem like you showed. I will retry and I shall success this time. Thanks again.

you mentioned some of the uses for rosemary at the end of your video. One thing I didn't hear you mention is marinara sauce.

I use it in all my tomato based dishes ever since.

Enjoyed this vid...placed in new playlist, PROPAGATING PLANTS. I love Rosemary for taste, smell, look, feel, landscaping, and permeating oil. My fav is scrambled eggs with cheese with copious amounts of Rosemare n Chives, and Rosemary Chicken. Place deboned, skinless chicken in casserole dish. Completely cover with Chicken broth. Lay several Rosemary stems with needles attached into and around the chicken making sure its covered by the broth. Add salt n pepper to taste. Cover then Bake in medium heat oven (375) for at least an hour (longer if needed).

[@gabbigeter7725]

Thanks so much, I have been trying to root this for years, I have been using tap water, I think that is my problem. Thank you.

[@jordaniskatsakis2442]

What water is the best?

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

No problem Gabbi! You can also try scratching away a bit of the bark on the stems... Expose that inner layer. That often helps to stimulate roots. If you're propagating in water, you can use IBA rooting powder as a last resort. If you are doing it directly in soil, mix in some alfalfa meal into the soil as it contains natural rooting hormones! Best of luck, report back your success!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@jordaniskatsakis2442 I find pond water, slightly acidic (pH = 6ish) to be the best. After that, straight rain water is awesome. And then after that, tap water that has been allowed to sit for a couple of days. Best of luck!
