Rosemary is straightforward once you understand what it does not like: dim light and constantly damp roots.
Start sunny
Give rosemary the brightest location available and soil that drains quickly after watering.
Grow what fits the life you want to live—not simply what fits the space.
Water with intention
Water thoroughly, then wait until the surface has dried before watering again.
