🌞 Choose a Sunny Spot: Rosemary loves full sun and thrives in sandy, well-drained soil.
🌱 Sow the Seeds: Surface sow and press gently, don’t cover, as seeds need light to germinate.
💧 Water Sparingly: Let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
🌿 Thin and Maintain: Once seedlings are established, thin to 18–24 inches apart.
✂️ Harvest: Snip sprigs as needed once the plant is bushy. Regular trimming encourages fuller growth and more fragrant leaves.
