About 2/3 of the pineapple sage cuttings had started to develop roots in their jar of water, so today I planted them about 3 per pot. I expect some not to take, but I'm hoping for at least one per pot.
And here's the parent plant recovering nicely from the pruning:
I probably should pot it up in revitalized soil to carry it through the season, but I'm fresh out because I cheated with getting my squash planted.
Just thinking about looking for places to tuck squash seeds and then marking them so I could find them then keeping track to make sure they germinated and then protecting the seedlings because the wildlife around here LOVES to munch on squash seedlings...well it was overwhelming. So fuck it, starting in pots it is! I can watch them as a group and protect them upon transplant--much less stressful. I found I had 3 varieties of zucchini, so I went ahead and started 3 pots of each of those. Then I planted North Georgia Candy Roaster for my big squash, Honey Boat Delicata as my small squash, and Lady Godiva for the naked pepitas (kudos to the originator of that name). We'll see if any of the winter squashes make it all the way to harvest this year or not.
And just to show off, my covered kale bed is doing fabulous. I plunked in two conventional broccoli starts that I found near a greenwaste dumpster (either they fell out or someone missed?). There's also a few bok choy that I think either the slugs or the roly-polys are going after. My bet is roly-polys because detritivores my ass--mine like young plants even more.
And here's my thyme (recovering from overwintering) and this year's box of green onions (started from the bottoms of grocery store bunches). They're in a wire dog kennel to keep the raccoons and opossums from digging everything up.
