🌞 Choose a Sunny Spot: Sage thrives in full sun and sandy, well-drained soil.
🌱 Sow the Seeds: Surface sow and press gently, do not cover, as light helps germination.
💧 Water Sparingly: Let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent rot.
🌿 Thin and Maintain: Once seedlings are established, thin to 12–18 inches apart.
✂️ Harvest: Snip leaves as needed once the plant is bushy. Regular harvesting encourages new growth and keeps the plant tidy.
