I love Clary sage... but wonder, does yours grow huge?
On and off I've grown it, and at times it towers and lasts from one year to the next. Another time, I'll plant it but not much will happen.
Conditions must be right for it to take off, I dare say!

This is the first year that we have grown it, and you are right about it getting huge! We've cut it back several times, but it is similar in its tenacity to the Borage!
Oh my goodness--such great photos!!! I especially love the basket for your pantry and the flowers you picked! Awesome! Your little pumpkins are so cute too!!
Gorgeous Poblanos! We finally harvested our Jalapeños this last weekend, and were surprised, despite our cool weather, that some actually were a little spicy. Your pumpkins look great. We have a fair few green tomatoes left too. Are those Yellow Pears? Do you pickle your green tomatoes, or soup them? Your blue potato looks just like our "All Blue" variety we grew earlier this year, they're so pretty. We often make trays of roasted veggies like yours, a splash of olive oil, and balsamic vinegar...now I'm hungry! By the way, Gwen is just adorable!
OH MY! Your vegetable harvest is amazing! Everything looks so good!
@Melissa-Thank you so much for the compliments. I am really amazed at how many flowers we are getting this Fall!
@Curbstone Valley-Thanks so much! I love those Poblano peppers, they are among my very favorite to grow and eat. We usually broil them for several minutes and combine them with a fried egg and some white cheddar cheese, and nice, toasted bread (maybe a brioche bun if we are feeling fancy) and eat them for breakfast sandwiches! Mmm! They are absolutely delicious.
Yep, those are little Yellow Pear tomatoes. At first I wasn't so sure what to do with all of them, but then I made a spaghetti sauce with those and a few of our ripe Willamette's and the sauce had a very nice, chunky consistency. We usually let them ripen a little bit inside of the house (frost is on its way), or I'll make a green tomato cake! I'm trying to do more cooking posts on the blogs where I demonstrate how to use many of the ingredients we grow.
@Lisa-Thanks a bunch! I'm very excited about the harvest, even though I felt like we were cheated out of a summer!
