This is my first year growing sage myself, and I’m hoping that will inspire me to cook with it more. I’ve dropped sage leaves into stews, and I infused a pasta sauce with them once, but that’s about it. I also was thinking about drying the leaves and making sage smudges.

Yes! On Instagram. I use straight up peppermint oil (like for cooking/baking) but you can use straight essential oil as well. I put it on a cotton ball or rag and wipe a thick line around the door/window/wherever they’re getting in. it WORKS! =D

How do you use the sage?? I always want to grow it but never ever cook with it, so it always seems a waste of space. Do you cook with it?

Is it hot there yet? I’d think the peppers would do great where you are!

Wow Lindsay it sounds like you’ve got a ton going on! I just went over and stalked your bog and WOW – looks amazing. You should leave a link next time, I’m sure other people would love to watch your garden grow this summer. =)

I love your raised strawberry bed with the ledge around it. So adorable, did you build that yourself?

Looking forward to watching your garden unfold! Tennessee is such a different climate, it’s cool seeing what people do all over the country. Cheers!
