Rosemary Problem

A very healthy 6" Rosemary I planted three months ago now has yellowing leaves with black tips as in the photo below.
Is it curable or do I start again?
Thank you.

It's been through a dry spell and few leaves have died.
If you brush the stems with your fingers the yellow leaves will drop off.
It's nothing to worry about. Most of my mature rosemary has the same.
It should be planted in fast draining (very gritty) soil,watered regularly before noon and fed once/twice a year -that's how I treat mine.
If the plant is a few years old now, probably time to start afresh.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
It's very easy from seed too
Although they like plenty of sun, they still need watering. Just remove the yellowing leaves, as Pete says, and it'll be fine.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thank you.
