Brian at Bushboy’s World had the fun idea of posting the last photo of each month, without editing or explanation. It’s such a simple idea and seems to be appealing to more and more of us.
In August, I actually used my phone camera for more than just snapping the shopping list before I go out, so I’ve included my last image from that too (below).
The rules for Brian’s challenge are simple:
1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for the 31st August.
2. No editing – who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like or the subject matter didn’t cooperate.
3. You don’t have to have any explanations, just the photo will do
4. Create a Pingback to Brian’s post or link in the comments
5. Tag “The Last Photo”

Thanks Brian.
It’s pineapple sage, and I was experimenting with drying it in the microwave, then crushing with sugar as sprinkle for a dessert.

yes, trucking along. At the end of July I had one of the “busiest” times I have had in years – kind of like this three week period that had so much – mostly great – like finally got to see my mom and you know – early during the COVID outbreak (april) many of use were so worried about the elderly. So I combined a work trip with family visit and so good for something deep inside – but then coming back to some busy stuff and deadlines – but slowed down a lot last week –
okay enough rambling –
has your son made any cool movies yet?

So glad you could see your mum. 👍👍
The boy has been so busy with work and study lately, he hardly knows which way is up. He did say that he and his flatmates were making music though, so that’s good.

Yes – that is good and the music videos sound fun!
And Su
Seeing my mom was also extra pleasant – she had really changed (guess we all have) but in late 1990s she was kind of demanding (always a sweet heart tho) but this last trip – She was so yielding and supportive to what everyone was doing – later I told her that I want to be like her when I am her age – not demanding and cool to be around!

I grow sage, but I never use it in cooking! Must try it with the BNS instead of rosemary.

Ooh yes!
My purple sage never seems to do particularly well, but the pineapple sage is rampant — hence the attempt to make sage sugar. It’s not really “sagey” enough for savory dishes. Pretty flowers though 🙂

Does the pineapple sage taste pineappley when dried? I don’t find mine has a huge taste though it smells nice, as you say lovely flowers. Cuttings take easily BTW.

Not really. In the end I abandoned the sugar idea. I’ll stick to adding fresh leaves to drinks.

Do you grow lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora)? Now those leaves really do taste amazing. I imagine they could be crystallised and used on cakes etc.

I do. I mostly use the dried leaves as a tisane, but I’ll have to investigate crystallizing them too.

Sage leaves, I would have thought they were mint leaves.

They do look a bit like mint, but smell very strongly of pineapple.

What a lovely rainbow! One thing I learned about sage while living where winters got very cold and lasted for some time–sage will endure no matter what! 🙂 I had a prodigious bush when we were in Ohio and didn’t really even had enough recipes to begin to use all the leaves.

Our purple sage plants never seem to last particularly well — and always seem at their worst when I need sage leaves for a recipe. The pineapple sage is an exception; it is prolific!

I’m not sure what sort mine was, just green. But it was certainly hardy!!
