May 10th 2015 - Planting sweetcorn part 2

May 10th 2015 - Planting sweetcorn part 2

About 6weeks ago me and lil man planted his sweetcorn.  Well we still have nothing grown and it says should grow by 21days!  I have dug around in the soil where we put them and cant find anything.  So today me and lil man are going to plant some more sweetcorn.  Hopefully the tips on the pin will be of use to us.

The packet does say if the seeds fail they will replace or refund, so if these ones dont start to grow I will be taking them up on this!

April 9th 2015 - Planting garlic

April 9th 2015 - Planting garlic

The garlic bulbs have been sat in water for a few days now and we have long roots at the bottom and long green shoots at the top that are about 3" high.  According to the websites this is when they are best to plant, so we will be going outside later to plant the garlic.

However, most of the websites say that you should plant in august and protect with straw over the winter months so that it is ready to harvest from april/may time.  I didn't know this so hopefully it will still grow, but we can plant more later in the year.
