Sage germinates in ten days. Cut sage for the first time when it is 6 cm tall, by cutting off the top pair of leaves.
From then on, harvest by cutting the stem just above the pair of leaves below. The plant can be cut a lot at once, as long as a few pairs of leaves remain under the cutting point. This will encourage new branches and thicker growth, producing more leaves to harvest.
