SB and I set up a sweetcorn experiment, we are ‘chitting’ half and sowing half. they are all going into the propagator under roughly identical conditions!, and we will see which gives us the best result.
The previosuly announced asparagus germination was a hoax - not sure what they are, but SB helped me, so could be a stray. however, there are some definite asparagus germinations occuring now - as these look like mini spears.
one of the pumpkin Mars has germinated - winning the speediest cucurbit award [it is in the electric mini propagator rather than our home made one], and some of the sweetcorn minipop are also germinating.
Did a fair bit of hoeing of weeds, watering in the greenhouse, and replanting pulled out onion sets - sigh!
Have re-read lots of the square foot gardener - which is how we started, but the raised beds, and now moving to an ‘allotment style’ plot have got me row sowing! I think, when we get the girls area sorted, i will arrange it as 2 square foot beds with the markers on for then - well, primarily SB to start with - as it really seems a great way to grow.
