How to Make Rubbed Sage

I am extremely excited about today's post! It's my first post utilising the fruits of my Plantui Smart Garden: it's harvest time! The first plant I harvested was my sage! It smelled so delicious whilst it was growing; I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and use it! Just look at how beautiful and vibrant the sage was:

With American Thanksgiving right around the corner and Christmas not far behind, I thought I'd share a recipe for how to make rubbed sage. Sage features prominently in both Thanksgiving and Christmas meals (usually springing up in stuffing or sausages et cetera) and it's one of my favourite herbs.

Rubbed sage is ordinary dried sage that has been rubbed gently to fluff the edges of the leaves or into a fine, fluffy powder. The second way tends to be what's sold commercially--fluffy clouds of sage great in baked goods like savoury scones. But I love sage and prefer it to be a bit less airy, so you'll notice in this recipe that I don't rub the sage as much as you might have expected. Feel free to continue to rub your sage until you're left with a fine powder if that's how you prefer it.

How, When and Why to Pinch your Plants with Plantui

I'm happy to report that my Plantui plants are growing out of control!Just this past week, the basil and sage have really shot up and are close to reaching the LED lights in the underside of the top of my Plantui Smart Garden.

My Plantui plants need a hair cut!

I panicked and gently moved them so that the tops are actually growing outside of my garden. Haha. Then, I stumbled across this comment on my Instagram from the Plantui team:

I'll be honest, I had no idea what this meant. So I did a bit of research and stumbled across this invaluable information on the Plantui blog! I'll be pruning my plants this weekend, come back next week to see what a difference it makes! In the meantime, here's what the Plantui experts have to say about pinching your plants:
