Title: Sprouts-you may laugh
Post by: cleo on December 16, 2003, 18:11:04

But on my light soil I cannot grow them. So last winter I trod down a piece of my garden almost every day,by spring it was well compacted.

Then I drilled a hole-and I do been drilled-a flat bit on my chordless-popped the plants in and stamped all around them.  I will have sprouts for Christmas ;D,I know this may seem extreme-anyone else silly enough to go to such things for something they like?

Hi there,
Delighted to hear of your sprout dance.  My sprouts fall over and I do what is now obviously a half-hearted dance to encourage them.  From now on I'll firm the soil down non-stop till sowing/planting.  Many thanks,
Em         :D
