Featured Plant: Sage.
Friday November 21, 2008
What would Thanksgiving turkey be without sage? Sage is one of those wonderful Mediterranean herbs that asks only for sun and warmth and then takes care of itself. Being an evergreen, even northern gardeners are able to harvest fresh sage leaves at Thanksgiving (snow permitting). And it's beautiful enough to have on display in the herb garden or the perennial bed. Makes an attractive edging plant too. Here are some tips for growing great sage.

I love to cook with sage. I put the torn fresh leaves in the chicken broth in the bottom of my roasting pan…turkey on the rack in the pan…keeps it moist. We GRILL our turkey. I recently blogged about
