Autumn is our time for harvesting sage, prior to drying it, in order to include a small amount in as many Christmas veg bags as possible.  We have about 10 metres of it at Springfield and a couple of metres at Clissold and from September we harvest a bit every few weeks and then find every nook and cranny to dry it, be it in our sheds, glasshouses, or my radiators and shoe rack at home.
