| Every year with tender care
The gardner plants my seedling
She tends and plants and prunes
And of course there's lots of weeding
She fertilizes and mulches
And slowly I start growing
She watches patiently each day
As a new leaf begins unfolding
Slowly I curve round and round
As my vines start spreading
But unless she's ready to loose some sleep
She'll never see me blooming!

| I planted 1 (cause more than that is impossible to manage) because when I was little my grandad would wake me up at 2 in the morning to go see it...so I plant 1 every year in honor of him |

| NNNNOOOOOO!!!! Sage you grow yourself from your land is ALWAYS best...that's why I'd like some seeds from the white sage that grows wild in North Dakota...see anything you plant, grow and tend yourself is always best because it already has your energy running through it...your sage works best for you...but I would not have the same results if I used your sage to do the same thing |
