....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....

....and the ones I planted out last week are doing nicely....put about an inch on the 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....
