Rosemary is a savory herb that will pair well with your fall potatoes, squashes, and apples. It works great with other herbs like oregano, parsley, sage, and thyme.
Cutting instructions: Cut little sprigs from different areas of the plant. You want the main stem to be slightly green and pliable instead of dark and woody. You can keep the rosemary in your fridge for a few days and it is often best added early on in the cooking process to maximize the flavor. (PSU Herb Guide)
