Answer 1

Bringing rosemary indoors
In the fall, when the temperature dips to 30ºF, it's time to bring rosemary indoors. Successfully growing rosemary indoors requires good sunlight -- the more the better -- and ideally a southern exposure. If the plant is large, rotate it weekly so all sides of the plant receive sunlight. Wiry growth often indicates inadequate light, and if you can't increase natural light, consider using artificial light. You can also prune plants to encourage bushiness. Indoor plants sometimes develop powdery mildew because of lack of air circulation. If this occurs, run a small (3-inch) fan for three to four hours a day. I've noticed that the creeping varieties grow and tolerate dry interior air better than the upright varieties.

When rosemary is planted outdoors, insects usually aren't a problem. But in the house, aphids and spider mites are more likely to cause trouble. When this happens, spray rosemary regularly with an insecticidal soap until the plant is again healthy.

Rosemary grows best indoors at cool temperatures, preferably around 60ºF. Increased humidity is not recommended because it promotes powdery mildew.

Rosemary is hardy in Zones 6-11. If you ive in one of these warmer areas, the plant will do better outside.

KitJ gave you good advice. However, rosemary is fussy and a lot of people have trouble gettng it through the winter indoors. Water it sparingly and give it plenty of light. If you lose it in March or April, don't feel too bad, even experienced people can't always get them through the entire winter. You can always buy another one in spring!

If you aren't for sure, then repot it and bring it inside. Usually in a basement or someplace where it is not real warm...............
I'm in the midwest, and I had a plant in the front of my house facing south ....well, I forgot to take it in one year, and it never did die that winter (somewhat mild) Not below 15-20 degrees.....
The plant the next spring was more beautiful and fuller than the year b/4 ............I like to use rosemary on a Pork Roast!
Yummy!

Poppies or Cosmos are really effortless and will boost everywhere that they could get a lot of sunlight no matter if the soil is undesirable. They reseed themselves and could go back each summer consistently multiplying. they don't look considered to be perennials although because they arrive again from their own seeds truly than preserving an same roots. they extremely are both no brainer plant life that you plant once and then they are going to boost summer after summer devoid of upkeep except useless heading the spent plant life. they don't even prefer to be fertilized.

No point in answering without more information regarding the climate where you live. No problems in usda zone 9--just let it be if temperatures never go below 25 F or so. Can probably take more cold than that, but more specific details would help.
