- Sage should be in every garden - it's so versatile, hardy and drought tolerant. In this video I share with you the many uses of sage in the kitchen, for your body, in the garden, and also how to simply take a cutting to grow more. I show where it is happy growing and how it can be integrated into your garden design.
'Parlsey, sage, rosemary and Thyme' go together well - in the garden and in the kitchen.
THE USES OF SAGE
Here's some uses of sage to try:
Sage in salad - a couple of leaves finely chopped add great flavour into a salad
Sage vinegar - pop a few leaves into vinegar and use as a salad dressing
Sage infused oil - a few leaves infused adds great flavour to all kinds of cooking
Sage tea - a few leaves in a teapot or plunger for a relaxing drink
Sage bath - a bunch of leaves in a warm soothing bath
Sage hair rinse - make a rich tea, allow to cool and use as a hair rinse - to darken and strengthen
Sage a ground cover - this perennial grows in the hot sun and can protect the soil and create little niches for other plants

Love my sage! Try this dip: 1 can or 2 cups cooked cannellini beans, garlic to taste, salt, lemon juice, a little cayenne, a little olive oil and fresh sage leaves. I put in maybe 10 - 12 leaves, or more. Blend in food processor, adjust to taste and dive in. Leave it thicker to use as a spread. We cant get enough of this!
Tryin it! Thank you!!!!
Amazing :D Wanting to eat more beans and sage so going to give this combination a try! Thank you.
I’ve made hardcandy out of them with honey to help in the flu season, also sage tincture by soaking it in vegetable glycerin. Feeling like a head cold or muscle aches, sage tea with a bit of honey and milk can do wonders overnight and will aid in a good night sleep as well. When it goes to seed I catch the seeds as soon as the flowers are done blooming and the seeds are visible, it will have hundreds of them and they can easily be started again into more plants or to give away as small garden gifts to others.
Wow ... that is really good to know and another thing that's very good for everything from sinus problems to head colds and allergies is BLACK SEED OIL .
It's very good for neurological problems such as epilepsy and I have something that is like a mild version of epilepsy and narcolepsy ... and it really helps .
Best remedy ever for excessive sweating and hot flashes, as it cools the body. Works best if you cover dried leaves with apple cider vinegar in a bottle and leave it for 3 weeks, shaking the bottle every day. Then have 3 tsp a day, diluted in water.
Thanks for sharing
I used a lot of sage during my Menopause...I was having horrible nights sweats, soaking the bed every night ,loads of flushes , Crawling under the skin and so moody ..I felt as if someone else had taken over all my emotions and was acting in ways quite foreign to the real me ....it was HELL...and my head got so fuzzY that once when I found my Purse in the FRIDGE I was hardly surprised at all to Find that the butter was in my Handbag !!
I was horribly emotional too ...tried all the regular Pills ...no good... then I tried Sage..put a small handful from the garden into a big teapot with boiling water and let it brew overnight... tipped it into a 2 litre bottle Put more boiling water over the Same leaves let them brew and cool added them to the bottle...I the took sips of this strong Mixture every time I walked past the bottle ..all day long....I started to feel a little clearer....but nothing changed much for about a week of drinking 2litre per day then BANG the sweats stopped! The flushes Stopped! My mind became my own again ....I stopped shouting at everyone.....it Was Incredible ! (Sage is for the wise ..older and wiser ....) it is also very powerful ..after about 3 weeks I started to feel a bit unwell so I stopped the sage for a week or so ....then restarted ..some times I would add a handful of dried Red clover heads and leaves to the tea ...this seemed to make the taste and effect more gentle ..smoothing off the hard edges as it were. ....I continued like this on for 3 weeks then off for 7 to ten days whenever I felt the need for a couple of years...Sage truly was my Saviour...I passed the knowledge on to all I met who were struggling with the same condition ...for many it worked but often my method of sipping all day was not practical...but for herb teas that is often the most effective way....(no problem for me ,being self employed) and some , brought up by BIG PHARMA doctors just do not understand how a Herb Tisane can help anyway
Your concoction sounds like a very practical answer for these ladies...I shall definitely make some of your recipe for my neighbour ...who is one such...3 teaspoons from a bottle ..she would be more much more comfortable with that 😆
Thanks again Morag for another wonderful video ...beginning another important discussion....also thanks for the reminder...I shall be rooting cuttings from my lovely but Leggy old Sage bush ...some for me , some for my friends, first chance I get...and the Rosemary too ...I find even in uk ..this time of year I can root cuttings in water on the windowsill.
I am saving up to join your permaculture course you truly have the gift of inspiring your students.

Thank You for Sharing Daniela ..please see message Below xx🙏🏼
Can you use fresh leaves for this?
i realize it is kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
Love fresh sage & lemon verbena tea.
Add chopped sage to a pan of olive oil, washed&sliced wild foraged pine mushrooms, tiny dab of crushed garlic.
It's too hot in Texas right now and all my plants keep dying. I got an indoor garden tent and I'm gonna grow sage. I'm excited because not only is sage beautiful, I'm excited to try it for the benefits of health
I dry it and make sachets,about 6x6, makes a lovely stress buster,heavenly aroma.
My poor sage is about 2 inches tall! I love to hassle back butternut pumpkin and stuff the slits with sage and bake. Mmm
Sage is the hero herb in the Veg Suet Dumplings I use in my chunky winter vegetable soup💚
We chop it finely and add it to panko breadcrumbs to use as a coating for all sorts of foods. My favourite is to coat eggplant or zucchini and then shallow fry in a little rice bran oil. Delicious!
Thankyou for your delicious idea 🙂
That sounds yum!
Woe what an awesome idea
i use sage tincture to brush my teeth, or mouthwash. it's absolute heaven. my teeth feel insanely clean and my gums tingle. I love the infused vinegar on sauted greens. mmmm. thanks for the new ideas :D
Can you share how to make the toothpaste?
Would be great if you shared how to make it🙂
Very interesting and yes it would be nice if she came back and shared that recipe
I love sage. This is so cool to learn more about it. Thank you.
In the Tuscany, we make Anchovy stuffed deep-fried sage fritters. Ever tried it? Amazingly delicious. Use two sage leafs for each fritter. Little piece of anchovy in the center and dip in a simple egg/flour batter to deep fry. THAT IS if you like Anchovies, most people do not. I didn't know I can replant a snip. Thank you for THAT info. Going to do THAT right now!
how fun sweet lady. i just dug up my sage in a very wet spot. it has been a trooper in that it still lives. i put it in a pot yesterday and set it close to the house incase it rained. well, whattya know thunder storms now 24 hours worth of rain. now the little baby is in my kitchen in its new temporary pot until i find the perfect spot in the garden. it is fantastic you are talking of sage so far away while i am in south mississippi thinking of my own little sage baby. i love it. thanks for being encouragement on my planting spirit journey.
@@truthseeker9688 hi, update on my little sage. it had babies!!!!! yes!!! I ended up putting it in a big fabric bag and put it in a sunny spot on the porch where it could dry because we've had so much rain. I shall enjoy some delicious tea with you:)
@@damselflies8639 really cool and I envy you because up here in the Dallas area we hardly got any rain since the end of July and it is really horrible here in the Summers when we have the Relentless glaring bright sunlight day after day after day and little or no rain
Hi there, love your videos....here in Scotland I like to scrunch a bundle of leaves into a cloth bag tie it to the shower head and let the water percolate the goodness all over, all the best .
sounds fabulous
Hi! I just discovered your channel and I am hooked and inspired! THANK YOU for all of this wisdom you are sharing!!!
I drank sage tea when I was weaning my daughter. My breasts were engorged and only getting worse. Cabbage leaves were refreshing, I was told hold cold showers help & massaging peppermint tea… but none of these helped reduce my milk supply. Finally, someone shared about drinking this tea. By day 2 I had relief! I don’t know what I would’ve done without this… I have a small pot of it at home now and can’t wait to plant it for continual uses as you just shared, mahalo Morag!🙏🏽😊
Welcome to Our Permaculture Life 🍊
Thanks for sharing Morag, I love a good sage in stuffing
Thanks fir all the knowledge
love Sage but i live in the we tropics , it can still grow . i read a very old Chinese Herb man said you should never be sick if you have Sage in your Garden ..
Lemon balm is on your profile
I absolutely love hearing you speak. You seem to have the perfect quality of a teacher. Effortlessly, I was able to absorb all the information you provided. And you made me smile a few times. Thank you for sharing a piece of your garden with me. I am a relatively new herb enthusiast. Sage is my favorite of all...so for this video I like and subscribe. :)
You look awesome bella!
Thank this very interesting.
I never grow sage but now I know the benefits. I will definitely grow it in spring
Such a lovely video! For years when I would make a turkey for my family on Thanksgiving I always seasoned it with the famous combination 🎶 "parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme" 🎶. For me personally you're the only other person I've heard of that cooks with the sweet suggestion of Scarborough Fair.🤗 Best turkeys I'd ever eaten and many compliments! I eat only what grows from the earth now so no more turkeys in my oven.💚 Morag, please continue posting and sharing your ideas. You inspired me through your gentle ways to do no dig gardening. I enjoyed my gardens so much. I recently moved to another state in the U.S., starting over in the garden ... so in the middle of winter I've started a kitchen garden and faithfully feeding my compost pile and laying cardboard out to gently take the grass away in the spring to plant my heart out. I love the idea of not disturbing the topsoil. ❤ Longing for sage and so many beautiful herbs and veggies to grace my garden once more. You're a powerful influence in the gardening community. I've shared most every post I've seen of yours as I find them to be easy listening in addition to inspiring. Many thanks!
Thank you 🙏🌼
Yes I have always loved the way that poultry seasoning smells ; my mom used to always buy the box that has the turkey on the front .
When we would make stuffing that's what we would add to it along with cooking the celery apples and onions in lots of butter and adding the poultry seasoning to the bread and the mixture from the frying pan .
I always thought it tastes so much better like that beforehand rather than after it was stuffed into the turkey
Thank you! Just the info I needed today! I love my sage and wanted to know how to do cuttings and when to cut it back
new fan of your channel! Thank you for sharing!!
Very interesting info!
Thanks, a very informative video.
Good video , I like growing Sage combined with Lavender . Makes great incense when burned similar to Bay Leaf .
Thanks for informing me
Loving your channel
Fantastic video. You have a tonne of knowledge and wisdom!! I love those herbs!!!
Thanks. I'm in awe of plants.
Thankyou, I do love sage as smoking sticks, with butter and gnocchi especially lol
Greetings from Arizona zone 9b. Thanks for the tips, tricks and info!
I have been looking for someone with your extensive knowledge for YEARS!! Even though you are in a different hemisphere, I have already learned so much from you in just the past few days of watching. Brilliant!
Glad to help!
Well done
Thanks
Thanks. Happy gardening.
We are currently re-designing our urban permaculture community garden in Barcelona and will for sure extend our herbal and medicinal plant garden beds. These herbs and plants are so giving and useful for our own live's, our well-being, etc. Incredible! Thanks for sharing these tips.
Sounds great! Best of luck on your project!
Thanks Morag! So many plants in my garden that I had no idea how very versatile they were/are! Really enjoying learning from you and feeling very inspired to experiment a lot more! Have you published a book by any chance with all of your wonderful tips and uses ? Cheers!
Tooth powder? Love it. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you 😊
Never have much luck with growing sage, so lovely to see how large it can grow.
needs a warm dry place
@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLifeI’m in the foggy Coastal Pacific Northwest . Planted my White Sage in front of a South facing side of our house. It gets all the sunlight it possibly can. Never gets watered. It’s become a MONSTER 😂 They said it wouldn’t do well here in our area and climate. My bush didn’t get that memo…😂
An abnormally cold night killed my sage a couple years ago. So I started a new one. I have a herb garden but I'm morphing a one acre area into a permaculture landscape.
By the south facing wall of my house should be a good place for sage.
I only used it in soups and sandwiches so far. Because I don't have much. My one plant grew well last year so I may have a lot this coming season.
If you scroll back through the comment section here there is a woman who says she makes hard candy out of them and that it is very good for colds and whatnot
Thank you for the information. I heard sage is good for memory, so I am propagating one plant stem for my garden in the spring (it is winter in Canada now).
Sounds great! Hope your sage plant grows well!
Sage is used in my area, dried, and made into a sage stick then burned to ward away the bad vibes and to cleanse the air and spirit.
I believe God made sage wondeorful
Good to see you using scissors. So much easier and versatile than those silly pesky stiff secateur things!
سەو ناترۆڵ so naturally described sage leaves
I top my omelettes with a few sage leaves, it adds a distinct flavour that I enjoy
How wonderful - I'll try that.
I was warned about sage use because it contains thujone, neurotoxin which can cause epileptic seizure, but only when mixed with alcohol. So be care ful using tinctures and any alcohol mixtures.. Otherwise, I love sage. It is so versatile and useful and so healing...
nice to have a couple of fresh leaves torn up on an egg on toast for lunch
Sage is my favorite lotion and soap fragrance
New subscriber here. I’ve been watching ur videos and they’re so inspiring… I’ve been learning a lot from u… thank you so much for sharing ur knowledge… this is my first time growing sage…. I got it at clearance from Ace.. and she’s sad… so my heart is broken and I wanna take care of her… now her leaves are turning black… is there anything I need to do to save her🫶♥️ Please and thank you 🫶
❤
I bundle tightly and dry for burning incense, very calming and makes my home smell lovely. Wards bad spirits away too.
My take...My bread has fresh sage and freshly ground black pepper. I also add ground up almonds and the bread comes out almost as a whole wheat in colour.
delicious
@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife here in Canada even though our winter wasn’t so bad only one of my three plants survived the winter outside. I will try your technique of trimming back and starting the nursery of new sage.
I took all my harvest with me in December to the country and I had them drying over a cast-iron woodstove.
Life is good.
After taking a cutting, how do you get it to root? I have Berggarten sage. Thank you, really love your channel and podcast!
You can just put it right in the soil and it will start roots from the nodes, can do a rooting hormone if you want but isn't necessary. 🙂 Once you put in the ground or pot just give it a some water, makes it so the soil sticks to the plant and giving it something to grab onto onces roots start. Good luck!
also, thank you, after watching a vid of yours last year i planted some comfrey babies. they do well in shade in my area. they do not seem to enjoy sun bathing. this is the first year dandelions have abundantly graced the garden and i feel it is because comfrey is providing nourishment and dandelions say, "thanks friend. i needed support. heck yea, i will stand with you" thank you for helping me tend to my garden in ways i could not have imagined. you help me tune to what the little babies need in terms of advocacy. It may seem strange to term gardening in terms of advocacy. perhaps it's just me. also, do plants talk to you? I am asking because I am sure, really sure, so sure I moved them immediately because they were screaming. I can tell the story if any one is inclined to hear, but I must ask, am i alone in this?
You're not alone..many books have been written on the language of plants....tell your wonderful story ❤ ...It will be helpful to many.🤗🙏
@@paulasnatural Thanks for your response. I've been thinking about it these 4 months. should i?shouldn't i? maybe people will think i am weird? well, a four month lookie loo on the internet says no matter what i do some people will think me weird anyway. the day that i first heard the plants was after I'd watched Morag's channel on Jerusalem artichokes. I ordered some online. they'd arrived. i thought they'd be nice in a sunny spot along a fence line. I put the bulbs in temporary homes in several big square buckets and placed them near the fence where their future forever home would be. One day I went out to check on all the little plant babies. Every one seemed fine and i was turning to go inside when all of the sudden it sounded like a low hum of one million stridulating crickets. I am profoundly hard of hearing and it is nearly impossible to discern which direction sound comes from. i was thinking this as i continued to walk away. With each step away the sound became louder. I stopped stepping. the sound stopped. started stepping away and the sound became five times louder than before. so i turned around and faced the artichokes. the sound was still loud but softened slightly. I thought "wha? no way" and each step toward the artichokes the sound softened. upon peering at the artichokes i saw their leaves were being bored into. some little needle like creature was penetrating their leaves. the moment my eyes recognized this. and my brain registered they were in distress and in pain. the chorus of cricket like screaming stopped completely. I promptly dragged the buckets to a different sunny location and they've been happily growing for several years now. thanks for your encouragement Paula's nature.
@@damselflies8639 W😇Wow...what a wonderful surprise and what a wonderful story !!! Absolutely made my day. Thank you dear one . My favorite joy is found in my garden with my "babies"...I truly believe your babies were talking to you without a doubt. My neighbor, a tough salty old guy, believes my apple tree smiles at him like a wave in the wind. Truly beautiful. 💕🌱🌿🌻🦠☘😇🙏
@@paulasnatural upon reading about your neighbor who's befriended your apple trees, i felt nostalgic for the short story "the selfish giant" by oscar wilde. Thank you so much for receiving my experience with beautiful love. thank you for encouraging me to share it.
@@damselflies8639 🤗🙏
I've made sage bread and use it in chicken noodles and I make tintures to use medically as an antibotic.
As a tooth powder? Could you tell me in what way please? Is it used for cleaning, gum sensitivity, breath freshener, receding gums ??? Thanks you! I've been drinking it as a tea with lemon and Ginger for about 10 days now, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, do my Tai Chi and other exercises, THEN have breakfast around 10:00am. Have a good week Morag - nice to meet you! Linda
I am clad to learn about replanting this wonderful herb, i drink sage tea every morning. My worry is for how long can i continue drinking this tea for before i get site effects
Saltimbocca. My plant is still small (2nd year) so I'm waiting before I experiment with shampoo etc.
Can you tell the shelf life of sage? I have a some sage rolls that are a few years old. Are they still usable? Thanks!
Tks. I us it on veal liver in butter and with pasta and butter
so versatile and delicious
When you harvest for lighting ?green or white?
I’ve planted so many Sage plants and they always struggle. They barely grow at all. My sage is in a dry sunny spot as you recommend. Other herbs and plants in the same area have grown well so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong!
Maybe give them a lot more water ? ... see what happens ...
Hi Morag, I’ve heard gargling with a sage infusion is good for sore throats 🤷🏻♀️ 🍃
If you scroll back through the comment section here you will find a woman saying she makes hard candies out of sage and how good it is for colds and whatnot
Is that white sage ... what is the best for sauage, thanks.
*Are vanilla vines and leaves edible?*
do u sell white sage seeds?
Can I plant it in Sacramento? Will it survive ?
I nearly forget to ask if it allowed to mix sage with other herbs for tea - Maoto Thaane Clocolan SA
Can you share any tips for sage propagation?
I have a video about propagation. This would be done like the branching example. czcams.com/video/10xRk_NgWCo/video.html
My sage looks different with rounded leaves
so versatile, better than $200 at the drug store, nice presentation!

Too much doom & gloom for my taste. I prefer David The Good -- smart, funny, musical! Edit: oh yeah, and positive!

ill peek at david the good;

our area is about to experience its first shortages in....ever;
some places will be more friendly than others....either way, grow sage! hehe

@@garyquack19 No no. I have rejected the black pill, as it's counterproductive and dumb and a waste of time. But I'm an INTJ with pessimistic tendencies, so I can't be around or listen to people like Ice Age Farmer. As soon as I find a chunk of land I'll be growing EVERYTHING I need. No more relying on unreliable supply chains controlled by NWO grabblers, that's for sure!
Hi there, i have been told that Sage Tea should be boiled for 3 minutes to get rid of certain unwanted oils before drinking. Have you heard anything similar? Otherwise Sage leaves in boiled water again as i was told is best for soothing the throat by gargling it.
Sage oil is good for you
Sykes has been in my garden for more than 13 years, it appears well, but in the last two years the leaves grow once a year and this year the leaves did not grow fully.
Note that I fertilize it with compost in the winter Please help
Which varieties of sage do you prefer for cooking and medicinally?
I've made sage resin, which I use in tea, cooking. It's extremely potent soonly tiny amounts are needed. I'm uploading a video to my channel.
Should I cut back my sage before winter?
I would wait until after Spring just before the new shoots begin to emerge - cutting in winter, might make it a bit more vulnerable
@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife thanks 😊
A Question from South Korea: I began growing sage for the first time. It's growing well in a pot outside. This newborn baby is now about two to three feet tall. Would cutting the center stem from it to produce another one be okay? Or would it be better to wait until next year?
You can do this but also keep pinching out the tips to bush it out
@@MoragGambleOurPermacultureLife Thank you for the kind answer and tips. So... if I prune sage in the same way as basils, is that enough?? :-)
How do you stop rabbits from eating your crops?
Fortunately don’t have rabbits / we do have kangaroo & wallaby... I chose plants that they prefer less around the garden edges
Can you eat the leaves raw?
Lol I dk but I am now so wish me luck jahah
I wondering if it is good for breastfeeding mom!
@DG de Vreugd yes I remember you said that in one of your old video, and here you did not mention it, that why I ask to make sure I heard you right.
Thank you
@DG de Vreugd you too
Does it attract Snake 🐍 ??
Never head that before
Thank you great video...my sage is about to flower, this was very helpful.
