Why are you growing sage?

Thank you - I found it. Not sure where I'll plant it exactly. I live in Northern Minnesota so we have a short growing season. It's supposed to snow tonight yet. Hopefully, it's going to warm up. Is white sage a perrenial?

I would like this group to focus on kitchen herb gardens, be they culinary or medicinal. What do you grow, what do you use it for, do you make any medicinal products from your herbs?

Hi Mary. I left a comment following yours in Container Gardening group. Just thought you might like to look at/join the Backyard Kitchen Herbalist group. Katherine Turcotte, who started the group, is a wealth of knowledge on herbs. There are already many good discussions going in the group, and you might find a lot of usable information there. Best gardening wishes! mwf

Hi Letti Thanks for the info about the contaminated manure. I have not bought manure now for several years in the UK. This was since we had the foot & mouth and BSE scares. I think that municipal compost is your best bet, if you need to say bulk up…

Hi Kirsti I think the dingy idea seems feasable. Then the plants would be out of the way of day to day activities. Have you seen Margy,s floating garden pictures. Yours would be a variation on that theme.

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
