Here’s what you’ll do…

1. Pick up a bundle of Sage at your grocery store.

2. Snip off the base of several sprigs at an angle. (I like to try growing several sprigs at a time for the best success, because not all will root.)

      This is so fantastic and helpful because we can reduce how many herbs like sage that we buy at the store when we can easily grow our own from the cuttings!
