Harvest sage
Keep cutting fresh sage leaves to use in cooking. Sage is a delicious addition to many warming autumn and winter stews, it’s a great partner for squash and its fried leaves are a tasty garnish on many dishes.
If you have plenty of leaves, hang small bunches, tied at the base, upside down somewhere airy and dry. After a few weeks they can be stripped and stored in an airtight jar.
Weed around the plant and give it a feed of general fertiliser to help it recover. If it’s getting tired, you can take a few cuttings to make new plants or grow from seed for a fresh supply of young sage leaves.
