Today I made a dent in my sage. A small dent, but a dent nonetheless. I finally got to the wise, green beauty for a partial harvest and made about 25 bundles for drying. They're hanging in my little hut now, releasing their fragrant wisdom into the air. And I breathe in deep. I have more to harvest and dry. All in good time.
Tomorrow I head to the Watertown, CT Farmers Market. I'll be doing an "Intro to Herbalism" presentation in the morning, followed by browsing and some shopping, as well a picking up another 70 pounds of tomatoes from Dinebergs Farm. I'm looking forward to it. Even to the work and sweat that will follow.
Peace.
Oh that looks lovely Rose, I love love the smell of sage!
ReplyDeleteI bet it smells heavenly there!
Wow - that is alot of sage! I still have some local wild sage hanging - I love walking by it and catching a whiff!
ReplyDeleteIt *does* smell heavenly, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteAnd Rue … I still have a *lot* more to harvest!
Beautiful sage! It reminds me of the Black Hills where my husband and I used to do sweatswuth his Native American friends years ago. We took a good friend in once and he had a severe allergic reaction :-(
ReplyDeleteI read the next two posts and loved the pictures, especially the one of the beacon.
My daughter and I have a relatively new blog and make repurposed jewelry. The blog isn't just about that, though. Stop by if you wish...

Hey I have a bunch of lemon balm. Any ideas of what I should do with it?
ReplyDelete~your sage looks like the bundles of lavender i just harvested...so blessed to have such an abundance of thee...wishing you well at your presentation this morning...warm wishes and brightest blessings~
ReplyDeleteH-5 to your sage harvest!!! Mine got smashed by the next-door neighbor's tree falling after a microburst, GAH! curses!!!Hope it comes back better next year :)
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell the sage as I view it hanging from the tree. I usually dry my herbs in a paper bag and place in my car-as it dries-the car smells heavenly. I never thought of hanging it up high in an area where you pass by and can enjoy the aroma. Great idea.
ReplyDeletebeautiful beautiful sage~
ReplyDeletetomatoes to make yummy sauces, ummmm
I'd help you with those tomatoes if I could. ;) My sage seems to be dying out right now probably from the heat!
