Do not give up on rosemary!  She really is a tease, and will sit there, with 
no reaction to any nurturing whatsoever, for quite a while.  I've seen her do 
it for two years and then double and triple in size the next year!  I've heard 
it said of a lot of herbs that they must go to hell and back before they 
begin to thrive.
