My Monster Sage!

Hey guys, haven't updated in a while. I remember when I planted some clary sage some of you said: "Be careful! That thing will get huge!" well, you were right, but this huge??? In a few weeks???



The largest leaf is now 9 inches long! It's hard to convey in the photos, but keep in mind I have very large hands (not just for a woman, for anyone )





I don't know... it's encroaching on my spring onions (and everything else near it...) and obviously none of those big leaves will be good to use for any food/medical purpose anyway, and I can't bear to cut them off, so I think I'll just leave it be?! It's too beautiful to do anything to. I wish I'd planted it in a container, if the slugs get it or I have to move out of this flat I'll cry! It's become pretty special to me, this sage :D

 

Never seen leaves that big on mine.

Here's my Salvia forskaehlei - mine is huge!


It's just producing its first flower spike now.
