Sage Garden

It's that time of year where most start buying their herbs and plants for their gardens. I love to garden. Nothing beats grabbing fresh produce or herbs from your backyard. At my old apartment, I had a balcony and managed to grow some sage, thyme, mint and tomatoes!

Now living in my current apartment, with no balcony, our choices are limited to what we can grow. Our larger window faces directly face South so most of the time, even for plants who love the sun, ours end up dying because the apartment gets too hot. M and I decided to try growing plants by our East facing window, hoping that our plants survive this year.

We decided to go to Sage Garden on St. Mary's to pick up a couple herbs. We found some marjoram, pineapple sage (yes, you read that correctly) and Moroccan mint! I have no idea how to use this type of sage, what type of recipes that it will complement, but, I will have a fun time figuring it out! I am thinking salads and pizzas!

We picked these specific herbs because they grow well indoors and work well with moderate to full sun.

Here is a shot of our little garden. From right to left, we have an orchid, Moroccan mint, bamboo, sage, marjoram. 

If you have never gone to Sage Garden, you should really check it out. Here is their website: http://www.herbs.mb.ca/. It is a little more expensive ($16 for all three plants) but come on! Where else are you going to find pineapple sage?
