It was 45° when I left the house this morning to go to work, and after yesterday it felt positively balmy. We're expected to be above average for at least a week, with no more freezing temps in the near future, so when I got home from work, I put all the plants back out onto the back porch.
As I was standing there looking at them, I said, "What the heck" and moved my garden sage from the pot I had it in into the raised bed.
I tried not to disturb the root ball, so I'm optimistic it will do well, and hopefully recover from any transplant shock before the next cold snap gets here. It looks kind of sad right now, but that pot I had it in didn't drain as well as it probably needed to. In this bed with good drainage, I'm hoping it will pick up a bit. OK, a lot.
I'm thinking I can put a pineapple sage in the other half of that bed, but that's probably all that will fit, since sage can get quite large.
Since I had the plants out of my kitchen, I was able to move the old sewing machine out and get that corner cleaned up really well. I put the microwave stand in its place, and stuck everything onto it.
I still have some organizing to do, but it looks a heap sight better than what it was before.

Yes. Baby steps. Sometimes transplants look super sad when you first put them in the ground. Then they'll bounce back. :-)
Yes, I'm hoping I gave it enough time to bounce back before the next cold spell, which won't be for at least a week.
