Sprouts

Several months ago I posted information about the super-delicious way my brother and his wife prepare salmon with rosemary.  Rosemary they pluck from a bush in their yard.  I wasn't kidding when I said it was some of the best salmon I've ever had.  So delicious in fact that we have already started our own rosemary bush!  The seeds went into the starter tray on the 6th and we had our first sprouts at 9 days! 

I'm excited because I think this will make a perfectly suitable plant for our high desert landscaping and because I love the taste and smell of rosemary and hope this will motivate me to explore more dishes that utilize it.  I'm also interested in how well the plant might do here.  According to what I've read, our winters are too harsh and I'll have to keep it in a planter that can moved indoors during the winter months if I want it to survive.  My brother, in Boise, Idaho, experiences similar weather and his seems to be thriving.  This will be my little horticultural experiment.

If any of you also have rosemary plants please comment and let me know what your climate is and how the plant fares for you!
