Nothing adds that little splash of flavour to a good Irish stew quite like rosemary, and it's a vital ingredient in lots of other delicious dishes too! The wonderful herb is perfect in many different meals.
It's usually best to start sowing rosemary in the middle of spring, indoors in three inch wide pots. Some potting compost, well soaked, will take three seeds for each pot. It needs light in orser to sprout, so make sure the pots are uncovered.
After a couple of months, move the seedlings that have germinated (usually around half of them), you can plant them outside in a sunny and well drained spot. Clay or thick soils are unsuitable for growing rosemary.
When it has grown out a bit, rosemary is a tough plant and will survive all sorts of weather conditions. It will grow quite large too, often into a substantial bush, which can be encouraged by cutting back the stems after flowering.
Although it will last many years, you shouldn't harvest it in the first year, but after that remove the stalks and use them straight away. Dipped into a boiling stew the flavour of the herb adds a depth and richness unlike almost anything.
Enjoy your garden!
