I have been making sage chips. Absolutely delicious. The lady that demonstrated said to let your sage leaves wilt for an hour but didn’t really know why just that she was taught that way. She says she has used them after she washed them and dried them with a paper towel. I do the the faster version because after you have these you can’t wait the hour for them to wilt. I also take the stems off but not necessary, they are a little tough. Anyway, I use olive oil and butter in a skillet, enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan, you can add as much butter as you like. I use a low setting, put the sage leaves in, it’s going to sizzle for a couple of seconds. Let it cook for a minute or two, turn it over and let it cook a few more minutes, not too long. Take it out and put it on a paper towel or just on a plate because the olive oil is so tasty. I use a Greek seasoning to sprinkle on top. Wait for it to cool down if you can and eat. Crunchy and delicious.

I have a bush that has very long woody branches with just leave growing on the tips. I used the layering technique. Rough up the stem the same way but just dig a trench and put the branch into the ground leaving the green tips up. These will root ad produce new pants. Once well rooted, you can clip off the branches and either replant elsewhere or just leave it in place to fill in and make a nice big planting.

@SustainableStace I heard the idea from another youtuber. I was searching ways to propagate rose cuttings (never did it before). I saw the powder type and they also said raw honey works. I'm also sure it all depends on soil conditions, etc. Mine did sprout roots, mind you they were small, but it was my first time and I don't think I had the ideal soil for it. But yeah, it's interesting, I love experiments! If you have a bee farm, that's amazing!!!

Hey there! I found i little sage snippets, wanted to save it and found your video! Hope it does as well as your bushes!! Also amazing tip for using sage at the end, another thing we do here in Italy with sage is to simply dry the leaves as best as you can (leaving them in a warm dry place on some paper), and dry it also has many many uses! The best one is to boil some water, when it comes to boil, throw some leaves in and turn the heat off, wait some minutes and you have an amazing natural mouthwash, works amazingly well at keeping your mouth healty and the smell and taste is amazing if you like sage! If you want to drink it, leave the leaves to boil for at least 3 mins! Last thing are some dishes that i love, Gnocchi with butter and sage are just delicious, and a simply porkchop basted in butter and sage is also amazing! I love sage so muchhh

Hi! I am inspired to start a sage plant (and also thyme) from cuttings after watching your video. People do so many things but you make it look simple. Now that I have cuttings with rooting hormone in a soil-less mix, do I just put it on windowsill and water when the medium looks a little dry? How should I keep the root zone moist? This is what most people seem to struggle with the most. Thank you for your most interesting channel!

Hi Smita - thanks for your comments. I'm glad you are going to work on growing a new Sage and Thyme plant! Yes, water the new start so that the soil/roots are kept moist. As long as you gently pour water around the roots/stem of the plant - that will be fine. You don't want to disturb the roots when you are watering. Best of luck!

I was not expecting to succeed, what do I do now? Can I put the cuttings in a large pot (one for thyme and one for sage) and leave them outside? Will they grow enough roots to establish and survive the winter? I am in zone 7A so there is still some warm weather left. Or is it best to keep these guys inside this winter? I dont have that much space inside but could pull it off. I would prefer outside. What do you think? How did you take care of your little sage plant through the winter? Thanks! Oh!

Two suggestions: 1. first - trim it back and then surround the whole plant with dead leaves (insulation) and almost bury in them. If however, your area gets too cold for overwinter outdoors . . . 2. If it's not too big - try digging it up and putting it into a large pot inside a garage or covered area.
