A Mediterranean herb that adds an earthy, rich flavor can round out a hearty meat dish, or add a depth of flavor to jam or red-currant glaze. While small and unassuming, sage packs a powerfully nutritious punch.
1 teaspoon of sage contains 3 milligrams (mg) of magnesium, 1 mg of phosphorus, 7 mg of potassium, 2 micrograms (mcg) of folate, 24 mcg of beta-carotene, 41 international units (IU) of vitamin A and 12 mcg of vitamin K! Now that's a powerful herb!
Whether planting vegetable, fruits, or herbs, we strive to disturb the soil only enough to plant a seed or cover the roots of a seedling. By practicing minimal soil disturbance, we conserve moisture, build natural fertility, and keep the soil ecosystem intact to do what it does best – grow plants. To compete against pests that would like to eat our crops before our friends and customers do, we practice a diverse planting schedule. This means that we practice crop rotation – never planting the same species back to back – and companion planting, which means that we plant plants together that make good neighbors.
