Should you apologize when you make a mistake at work?
Q. Is it a good idea to apologize when you make a mistake at work? I made a mistake at work yesterday. Should I say Sorry or does that make a person look weak? I want to know how to handle it if I get called in by my boss which I may today. I did go in to my boss's office to explain what happened. I did not wait for him to call me in. I am wondering what will happen today though.

A. Weak? No way! It takes strength of character and courage to admit to mistakes and apologize for them. I admire people who own up to mistakes.

How to fix a garlic growing mistake?
Q. I'm a new gardener and think I made a mistake when planting my garlic. The instructions did not say anything about breaking up the bulbs so I planted them whole. Now I'm hearing that I was supposed to break them up. It is better to dig them back up and replant or just leave them alone? They have been in the ground 2-3 weeks. Thanks.

A. You actually made a couple of mistakes. garlic needs to be planted in the fall in order to get big cloves and yes the cloves need to be separated. By planting them 3 weeks ago they did not get a chance to develop good roots and greens before the bulb starts growing which in your area would have been about 4 to 5 weeks ago (just after the equinox). So the bulbs won't amount to much no matter what you do, at this point. what you planted will give you nice garlic scallions-basically garlic greens with a tiny bulb at the bottom. All partd of the garlic plant are edible. Now you know what mistakes not to make for next season's crop.
