Nick, his brand new wellies and I went to Cassons farm in hampshire to see sage and peppermint growing.

Cassons have been growing herbs on their farm for 3 generations. The youngest Casson, Charlotte, now has her own herb dressing company - her watercress sauce is amazing!
The sage harvest was in full flow.... here is charlotte holding a fist full of sage ready for drying.
Sage tea was on trial today, should it be drunk with hot water or should it be in a sausage?

It is another few months before the peppermint harvest but the first minty fresh leaves are just peaking through.
