Japanese Indigo has finally been planted out in the Garden

At long last the japanese indigo seedlings that I started from seed have made it to the garden. Last year, I didn't get the seeds early enough to start, so I just planted directly in the garden. I couldn't differentiate the seedlings from the weeds, and ended up with absolutely nothing. So, this year I started well in advance, planting seeds, and potting up 2 times before finally setting some 6-7 inch tall (some with branches) seedlings in the garden. The ones that were smaller, I still planted, but not in the main row.

Now, the seedlings are getting a nice drink from safely under their floating row cover to help them settle in and avoid shock. I'll keep them under row cover for 1-2 weeks, by which time they've hardened, and should be ready to go for broke.

Cotton survived planting out. I see some new leaves on some of the plants already. The wild flowers are 8" tall and growing like crazy. Its sunny now, having finally stopped raining!

Here are a few pics to share.
