Hello. Helen, the sage fairy. As you know, sage is one of the herbs. Above all, its fragrance and relaxing effect are famous. Sage leaves are great for meat, fish, and cheese dishes like pizza. Not only does the scent eliminate the odor of the food, but it also makes it taste elegant, making home-cooked food look like a restaurant. Not only the taste, but also the sage scent has the relaxing effect and skin-beautifying effect of herbs, so if you plant sage, you may be younger, fresher and live longer. Sage that makes every day fun because leaves grow all year round when it reaches a certain size. Please try to grow it!

Round. Black. It’s an easy-to-understand seed. Fufufu. It’s a big seed.
- 6/7The first leaf came out!Helen
It’s a leaf with a mundane shape, right? It is often said that it is not herbal at all. I wonder if it’s not too late or too early for the seeds to sprout in a week.
- 6/14More leaves came out!Helen
Look! The shape of this surface! It looks like you saw it somewhere, right?

I can still get it. The leaf color is beautiful. Since sage has a lot of growth potential, it would be nice to enjoy harvesting from the first year of seed planting, right?
- 10/25Wither a littleHelen
The sage dies from the bottom, but after that, new leaves are formed from the stem side, and metabolism is performed as if it were reborn, so even though it is the same plant height, it grows fluffy.

Until now, the number of leaves has been increasing, but when it gets cooler, it seems that the total number of leaves is adjusted while gradually changing the leaves.

Sage when it’s the coldest of the year. I didn’t blink, I just saw the winter sky, clouds, and birds. It seems that he is muttering that there is not enough light

A thick stem that glows jet black as a proof that it survived the cold season. A moment when something changed in me? It is allowed to bloom for the first time after going through hard times in life.

Sage buds are ready! By the way, take a look at how the flowers bloom from here. Maybe it will bloom in a different way than I had imagined? ??

Let’s have a simple flower that is very messy! ?? But it ’s a good color, right?

Blue and cute flowers, similar to lavender, spread out in a vertical cylinder. And if you look closely, it looks like a goddess in a long dress sitting down on her, isn’t it?

Even though it’s spring, the sage is scattered, leaving only the roots. It feels like the deep purple color is sad

- 6/6Seeds are madeHelen
The lush 咢 was transformed into a bunch of seeds. At the back, there are round seeds.
- 6/23Seeds, releaseHelen
Once all the nutrients have been injected into the seeds, the bunches will die and the job is over. I dropped the seeds with poro and poro.
HelenEven if the seeds fall, the sage itself will not die and will continue to live. The lush leaves grow more and more while increasing the number of plants.
Cultivation is relatively easy because it has strong vitality and grows even in a tough environment. I feel the vitality of adapting by changing the shape and color of the leaf stems according to the climate of each season. If it frosts during the cold season, it is better to take measures against the cold, such as laying straw.
Cultivation difficulty:★★☆☆☆
