depending on how big your pots are that could be far too much water. My rosemary is in the ground and receives zero supplemental watering in summer when our rains stop here in the PNW. The trailing ones are commonly used in parking lots and along freeways all over the desert southwest where they don't water regularly.

Pepper is just beautiful. We had a cat that was mostly Maine Coon, and she was a wonderful cat. The day we had her PTS my DD (5 at the time) lamented that she wished she didn't love her cat so much, because it hurt so much that she had died. There is just something so special about a treasured pet. She will truly live forever in your heart. One of my favorite books for children about death is about a dog who died, but whose (child) owner feels comforted that his dog knew every day how loved he was. The same is true for Pepper . . .I can just tell she knew she was loved.

It seems to have been the mating season a few weeks ago. Then I was finding about 10 a day. It also turns up on my lavender and apparently you may also find them on other members of the Lamiaceae family. Because I was being vigilant I've found only one a day more recently. I find it easiest to flick them off into a plant saucer then tap it out onto the ground and squash them. I've also heard you can put something like an old sheet underneath the bush and shake the bush. But I find that also shakes out loads of spiders which are currently hanging out in the bush (I'm hoping they are getting a taste for rosemary beetles!) Since South London, where I live, apparently has more rosemary beetles than anywhere else in the country, I don't see much point in using pesticide - they'll be sure to come back from someone else's garden so I'll have to keep on using it. The main reason I'm growing rosemary is as a culinary herb.

Katkin I love love love Rosemary! When I have real bad congestion, I cut a bunch of it and place in a pan in my sink then I boil a pot of water and pour it onto the rosemary while I am bent over the sink with a towel over my head as to not loose the vapor from the Rosemary and hot water. works wonders.
