I'm still waiting on my Pycnanthemum muticum, clustered mountain mint, to germinate. But in more positive news I was allowed to take a cutting of Monarda bradburiana, spotted bee balm, home with me yesterday.
What's growing on with you all?
Edited to add an image of the bee balm:

Carrots appear to have mostly died unfortunately, and a stupid groundhog keeps eating the leaves off my squash plants. I've been trying to chase him off for a while now.
That's a bummer =/
Could you fence off the squash in some way? Maybe plant some sacrificial ones elsewhere while you protect the ones that are for you?
I put fencing up around the plot today, hopefully that works. Next step is to systematically armor up all the areas that it keeps trying to dig into with landscaping blocks.
