Failure to germinate
I'm puzzled at failure of corn and chard to germinate this year. They've
always done fine before. I planted the same corn that I did last year, and of two packets got only 8 plants. I'm guessing maybe I got a bad lot. But that doesn't explain the chard. I planted the same chard that I did last year (not in the same place as last year, but a place where it did well a couple years ago) and it never came up. A second packet of a different kind from a different company failed. A third packet from yet another company failed. The area is moist but well drained, more evenly watered now than the last time I grew chard there. I screened it against birds and rabbits. Muskmelons, asparagus, beans, and cilantro are growing just fine all around the spot where the chard never came up, and weeds don't have a problem with it. Any ideas what went wrong? Kathy |
