I'm thinking that if your sage is leggy, you could plant it a bit deeper. Do you have plenty of seedlings? If so, why not do half deeper, and half at the same depth?THe snow is clearing away here, just a few piles in the shady areas. THe fruit trees are still asleep, thought the buds are swelling. I dont expect flowers for a while yet. THe photo above gave me hope Spring will arrive. Just need more patience. lol
QUestions for all---- I have sage in a starter bed in the house and they need transplanting now that the second leaves are out. Can I plant them deeper than the original level?? Or not. All need repotting.
Second question. Chives are notsprouting.Same starter mix, and the sage is doing fine. Seed is as old as the sage seeds. 1-2 years--perhaps too old or something happened to them ( too hot, too cold, some thing else, ??) I'm determined to not need so many onions and chives seem to be the simple solution.
Alliums (onions, chives, etc) are notorious for short lived seeds. You're wasting your time there. The easiest way to get some chives going is to visit someone who's been gardening for a long time. They always have huge clumps of chives, and would most likely love to "friend" you with a clump. You can also harvest a dried flower head full of seeds, and just sow with that.
