What's killing our rosemary plant?

[Bert Hyman]

We've had a rosemary plant in a pot by the window in the kitchen for several years. This fall the leaves started turning brown and after a while the plant was effectively dead.

We bought a replacement a few weeks ago and it's already going through exactly the same process.

We thought a fungus might have gotten the first plant so we used new dirt and a new pot, so the obvious routes of contamination were avoided.

Here's a link to a bad picture of the new plant, but maybe you can make something out:

ideas what's going on?

It's in a tera-cotta pot that's about 7" tall and 7" at the mouth. The plant was fertilized once at planting (my wife did it; I don't know what she uses), and it's watered once a week.

I thought that might be a problem, but this is the first time I've tried something like this. I suppose the utilities for the camera have something to do that.

I'll try then send them back to you. Thomas

Never fertilize during the winter!

Yeah, I just got my first digicam and noted right away that the pictures were huge! Over 500K and really big. :-)

I'm downsizing mine using photoshop and getting posting pictures down to around 150 K.

Much easier to view. :-)

Your digicam should have resolution settings too. You can take a "lower quality" picture to bring the size down as well if you do not have a graphics program to manipulate it with.
