When I started gardening, I was told to plant ornamental herbs.
It turned out to be pretty sage advice...
*GROAN*
Well, that got the day started off right, LOL!
Speaking of sages…I planted a new one two days ago. Salvia Amistad.
It’s called Friendship Sage. I wish I remembered how to post photos here, (off to HTML Bootcamp when I get time, hahaha). It’s quite a purple showstopper.
I battle herds of Blacktail Deer in my little beach town. The locals of the liberal persuasion cannot understand or follow the local rules about not feeding them. Consequently we have as many Deer or more running around than full time human residents. It’s not uncommon when I first moved here to have 50 deer browse thru my property daily.
We try finding plants the deer will ignore, not many fall into that category better than the Sage family. It’s not guaranteed though, the 2 biggest problems are fawns that eat everything not knowing they not tasty morsels and the damn Bucks that tear stuff up trying to rub the velvet off their antlers.
The Sage Amistad and my favorite Hotlips Sage are beautiful and bloom all summer, fall and depending upon the sighting in my USDA Zone 8B property all winter too.
G’mornin!
I finally had to buy a Salad Spinner.
It’s the only way I can really shake the snot out of my okra.
