The books all tell me, when I pot on my seedlngs that I shouldnt touch the 2nd leaves, or the stem, but handle the first leaves ...But they never say why?
I can see the stems are covered in fine hairs and i can understand how my chunky finger could do some damage. But why cant the 2nd leaves be touched?
Also, Im hoping beyond hope that I still have rosemary this year, after our bad frost killed my Fabulous patch. I'm having to cut down a huge dried,brown thatch of it tomorrow. Does anyone know if the stumps will grow back, or should I call it quits. I'm tempted to leave at least one stump to see what will happen.
I would really appreciate your info and advice
