....Garlic sprouting Day 7....three of the bulbs have rooted well and got green shoots from every clove, two have some roots and a few small shoots, one has just a few roots showing no shoots yet....will be planting some out this weekend....

Edit....was getting dark when I took the photos today, so they are a bit flashed out....apologies....

....and added another three bulbs to start sprouting....more planting next weekend I hope....I want to get between 100-120 in the ground, so we've still got quite a few to plant yet....

....an update on the garlic sprouting....the second lot of garlic bulbs havnt rooted as fast as the first load did, so I won't be able plant the next lot this weekend....maybe the change in the weather has slowed them down....I'll plant them in a week or two I think, when they've all got good roots and shoots....

....update on the garlic sprouting....got a lot of roots and shoots except the little one at the front which still only has roots....it's one of my homegrown ones from this year, so maybe it's just a bit slower....

....went to visit some friends in the Cotswolds at the weekend and visited a local Long Barrow burial mound on the way home....there was a bat sleeping in one of the chambers which was a lovely surprise....
