Mr Fothergill's 25591 Herb Seeds, SAGE

Planted all. Not one seed germinated. Will go back to garden centres.

I ordered these as some years ago my dad grew me a few plants from seeds, love sage, use it a lot and what I don’t use, I dry for future use, my plants have gone a bit straggly and woody so thought time to renew, bought these seeds as they are a good brand, followed the instructions and planted 2 separate seeds, waited, and waited, nothing…. planted 2 more and waited, nothing, planted the remainder and yet again, nothing, won’t buy again, having said that, now don’t need to, for the gardeners among you, I was taking what leaves I could off my old plants and a small ‘branch’ broke off, stuck it in the ground (like you do 😊) and, yes you’ve guessed it, it’s growing!, so taken off 2 more side shoots, this time dipped them in rooting powder and potted up in compost and yes, have another 2 plants, so ‘sod’ the seeds, waste of money but I still have my sage plants, best of all, they came off the plants my dad grew especially for me, he passed away last year, I’m sure he’s looking down and smiling at his green fingered daughter, just don’t bother with the seeds!

Growing seeds in the greenhouse and they are doing well
