I was worried about my garlic crop a few weeks ago and then it just took off and almost doubled in sized…

IMG_3575 Pre-sprouting my Revelation sweetcorn on the kitchen counter today. It will go into Styrofoam cells when I see some root growth and into the greenhouse until the end of May. then it will get planted into the garden because our soil is still to cold to direct seed…IMG_2458

That stand is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

I did go to our local organic/natural foods store, and buy some soft neck specifically for planting, as a back-up plan.

It will still go in, even though the German is finally sprouting; but the idea was that if the hard-neck/porcelain failed, at least we would have some garlic. We want a full-flavor, semi-hot garlic, and Gilroy just doesn’t do it: too mild.
