Sage will be become fairly large and woody if not kept in check with heavy annual pruning and harvesting. A sprig of mint in your ice tea or a fresh serving of tabbouleh, a Middle Eastern salad of bulgar wheat, parsley, mint and tomato, will certainly cool off any summer day. The delicate flavor and beautiful color of this easily grown biennial member of the carrot family make it a must for any kitchen garden. Rosemary is a member of the Mint family and loves dry, hot, sandy soils. This tender perennial can easily be grown into small hedges and sheared for a special border around your herb garden.
Rosemary leaves make an excellent seasoning for meats and salads.
