Re: More SQFT Spacing Questions


Hi all!
        Richard's right that sage can get quite large.  I would probably
plant just one to a double square.  However, sage is a salvia,
specifically Salvia officinalis.  Unlike mints and lemon balm, sage is a much
 less aggressive grower and less likely to attempt a coup and take over
the entire plot.

Good gardening!
