too late to plant?
What veggies can be planted at end of July in Missouri? Too late for more squash or eggplant?

Lynn DeVoll replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"I live in Michigan (Zone 5) I plant my rosemary as an annual. I usually by plants from a local store and plant in large pots than can be placed in my herb garden and moved as necessary. Last year I brought my rosemary pots into the garage and they…"
Suzanne Chilton replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"Indoors, simulate the "California winter": very cool nights, cool sunny days, evenly moist soil. Dry roots=dead rosemary. I keep upright rosemary in huge fiberglass planters in commercial potting soil. In winter it is moved to a basement…"
Ohioan replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"I live in Ohio and have to move many of my herbs inside for the winter. I dug up my rosemary plant this year and placed it in a 6 inch plastic pot. I water it every two weeks and keep sphagnum moss around the plant. It looks great, smells wonderful…"
Jennece Eaglehouse replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"Rosemary is a warmer climate plant. Here in Pennsylvania, it is more an annual than an herb. I plant it outside for the summer and now that it is mid November I will put it in a pot and bring it in. Right now we are having Indian Summer"
Tammy Liepe replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"Kimberly, I live in zone 6, and I have successfully wintered over my rosemary 3 years in a row. We have not had a lot of snow cover, but was freezing quite often. This year might be different with the expected snowfall. In the fall I post stakes…"
Rex Gerhardt replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"I have had several Rosemary plants for several years in zone 5. I got the original plants from Shady Acres Herb Farm in Minnesota. http://www.shadyacres.com/ Part of my success has been getting more hardy varieties, then potting them up regularly. I…"
Kay Carnes replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"You could try digging and potting it, you have nothing to lose!! When you dig it, make sure you get as large a root-ball as you can. It may slow the growth down and the plant may look terrible but if you can keep it alive throughout the winter, you…"
ElaineT replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"Sue, I can understand the cultural shock as I was born and raised in N. California and am now in the NE corner of Indiana. What I have done though to keep Rosemary surviving all winter long here is to plant it in a cold frame along with other herbs.…"
Kay Carnes replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"Kimberly,
I live in zone 5 also. There really is no way to protect rosemary in this zone although I did have a friend that planted one under the drier vent outside her house. That may work in a mild winter but last year we had 2 nights in a row with…"
Kimberly White, Lombard, IL,Zn 5 replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"So, there is no way to protect the rosemary plant in Zone 5? I was hoping I could put a rose cone over it or something...no? Since I planted it in the ground, can I replant it in a pot and bring it inside? or should I just resolve myself to planting…"

Sue Anderson replied to Linda Sant's discussion Rosemary in the group Herbs"I live in southwest Iowa (zone 5/subzone 4A) and can't overwinter rosemary outside as it is a perennial plant in zones 8 & up. I treat it as an annual and replant every spring. I've had good luck ordering herb plants online from a…"

Karen Henderson z5/Ohio said… - Linda, I don't know about your rosemary but your vegetables are amazing. My rosemary is going "great guns" but my veggies are pathetic. I guess the tomatoes are good but the gourds, peppers, cucumbers and beans are not where they should be at this time of year. I have raised beds like yours (complete with the dish in the background...felt like I was looking at my own pictures) and I add some manure and some lime to the soil every year. I have wondered if I have added to much of the lime. Can't believe it would be the manure. Last year at this time my gourds had climbed up the trellis and onto the tree branch. It was so cool. This year I planted 3 different types and only two plants emerged from all the seeds and these two are totally stunted. I swear they are about 6 inches tall and have not grown in two weeks. Same thing with the cucumbers.
