It looks how a creeping rosemary looks when it is suffering a little from lack of light. If you want it lower I'd wait until it's back outside before touching it. It will naturally stretch up less once it is out in the sun. Rosemary indoors is temperamental and you have done well to keep it going through the winter,

Thanks floralUK - I'm surprised it did so well, because I don't have a lot of natural light. It's been sitting in a west window with a small amount of sun in the afternoon. I had seeds started under lights and had no room to put this under there too. It required nothing but watering once in awhile and even tolerated being in front of a radiator. The fragrance when you brush up against it has also been strong.

I'm considering adding it to a large pot with other plants outdoors. Not sure I like digging it up from the garden to bring it indoors next fall.

Great suggestion - I'll wait until it's in full sun outdoors to trim it. Thanks! But -- when I do trim it, how would you trim it? Should I cut off all the branches to the center and let it produce new ones or just shorten up the existing branches by half….or?

Since it's Rosemary just harvest it for use. Simply trim off any bits you don't like the look of. It can take any amount of cutting.

I've actually never used rosemary. [g] I should try it. What foods and recipes do you use it in?

add it to your spaghetti sauce yummy

LOL I'm with Floral for the most part but I use rosemary here in Texas as carefree landscaping. It's pretty much a set it and forget it type of plant here. ( almost ).

Anyways. Rosemary is good for a lot of things. I make a "greek seasoning" with it and add it to everything.

Try that on meats, vegetables, rice etc.

You can also add it to pork (seems to be traditional for it), poultry seasoning uses it, rosemary bread, and biscuits is also a traditional use.

Boil it in water and rinse your hair with it if you have dark hair. It helps to make it shine and if you have scalp issues ( dry, itchy etc ) it will help. You can cut off pieces and place it in your cupboards and it helps to repeal insects.

Add a branch to olive oil and simmer. Use to season fish.

Rosemary and garlic are traditional flavors. Just so much you can do with it.

Good Luck!

I'm looking forward to trying some of these ideas. My mouth is watering! [g] Looks like it's useful in many ways. I like the hair rinse idea too. And yes, I thought it was a very carefree landscape plant last season.

Where it is winter hardy (like Texas and the UK) it is truly care free - no irrigation and few pests.
