What I thought was dirt on my sage plant, tossed up by the recent rain, turned out to be white aphid type insects. The poor plant is infested with them.
Just spent about an hour rummaging around for plant pots, then clipping off healthy-ish parts of the sage plant, cleaning/removing as many of the insects as possible, spritzing them with an organic insecticide (watched the rest of the bugs just fall off YAY), rinsed them, dipped cut end into cutting powder and planted about a half dozen of them.
Might have to buy fresh sage for a while, but with luck I'll have another crop of sage in a while.
