While the first year sees slow growth, by the following spring, a single sage plant can meet the culinary needs of a family.
4.Harvesting and Storage:
Harvest sage leaves year-round, storing them in the refrigerator wrapped in absorbent paper in a plastic bag. Moistening them with olive oil allows storage for up to three weeks, or use them within a week if dry.
5.Protection and Care:
Shield the seedling from winter cold by covering the base with straw, wood, or bark, or bring it indoors. Create natural fungicides with baking soda and water to prevent pests and rot.
6.Ideal Soil and Climate:
Sage thrives in direct sunlight and mild climates. Avoid shaded areas in the garden and place it on a sunny balcony or windowsill at home. Sage is drought-resistant, cold-tolerant, and prefers a calcareous substrate, though it can adapt to various soils, excluding clayey ones and waterlogged conditions.
Now equipped with the secrets of sage cultivation, it’s time to embark on this rewarding journey. Happy gardening!
