We hope that children, as well as established vegetable gardeners, will find this useful, as  sage is a perennial herb which will give fresh leaves year after year.

      • Countryside connection say:

        “Sara Ridsdale has written a wonderful book with Sally Osgerby, entitled How To Grow Herbs For Cooking. The ebook is available through Sara’s website www.farmingfriends.com for only £3.00 and as the proud owner of a copy that has been in constant use since early April, I can attest to its excellent and practical advice. Whether you are planting your herbs in your garden, window boxes, in indoor pots for the kitchen windowsill or in garden containers, you will find detailed information. In addition to guiding you through every step of the way, the book provides helpful answers to any questions you might have about how and where to grow a wide variety of herbs for the best results; which are best for certain dishes; how to take cuttings from existing plants and how to preserve and dry them.

        I highly recommend this wonderful book and as for fresh herbs when cooking . . . if you aren’t already using them (and hopefully growing some of your own favourites) you cannot imagine what you are missing. I promise you that even the simplest, basic omelette is transformed into culinary magic when fresh herbs are added, especially when you have just picked them from your own garden, window box or container.”

        Audrey from Holland says:

        Your ‘how to grow cards” are fantastic.
        I am going to be growing cress with a class of children and would very much appreciate your card on growing cress as an educational resource.
