Potted Sage
Sage is a wonderful-smelling herb often used in medicines and in food
dishes.
Light: The sage plant does well in partially shady balcony gardens to full sun.
Water: Water the young plants regularly until they are fully grown so that they don't dry out.
Harvest/Storage: During the first year, harvest lightly to ensure that the plant grows fully.
Cut
an entire stem if desired, or just pinch a leaf at a time. To give new
foliage time to fully mature, leave 2 months between your last big harvest and the first frost of the season. Sage's flavor is best when fresh, but it can be stored frozen or
dried. Dry harvested sage by hanging bunches of stems upside-down. Strip the dry leaves from the stem and store in an airtight container.
