Rosemary

Here is my beautiful Rosemary. She is about 2 feet tall and just as wide. I am sharing this now because it's winter, and she is a bit tempermental. Over the years, we have planted three or maybe four Rosemaries in this same spot. The ground is good, the sun exposure is perfect, and each one has thrived here. Until...the temperature drops below 10 degrees. That's when we lose them. Well, that's when we lost them in the past.
We are trying to be proactive, and protect this one from the cold. The first year (for this one) Jon turned the wheelbarrow upside down to cover her. That was pretty, NOT, but it worked: she survived the cold. Well, the wheelbarrow isn't big enough to cover this bush now, so we have to come up with another way to protect her from the cold.
We still have time though; the temps next week are cold, but only going into the 20s. We can work with that, but I need to figure out a good cover for my girl. She's so pretty.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
