Tips for Overwintering Rosemary Plants Indoors
If you were to ask most people to name a “Christmas plant”, they would say Poinsettia. It was obvious when I went to my local nursery a couple of days ago, that it is THE most popular Christmas plant. A huge truck was off loading pallet after pallet, and the buggies at the check out…
