Ditto what Terri says, carry a plant through the winter for "fresh" eating!
Lee/Kevin, you still have time to trim your existing plants and root the trimmings, too. Take the new growth tips and pot several in small pots, keep in the shade with damp soil.
I'm not sure where you are but your "southeastern US Zone 7" is the same as me in NC. If nearby I grow literally hundreds of rosemary each year, you're more than welcome to some.
