Very silly question!

I might be making a fool of myself here, but I'll ask anyway ;

What is a 'short row'?? Several of my lotty neighbours have said they had planted 'short rows', I had assumed that it just meant a smaller sowing. However, I was reading the back of my sprout seed packet today and it said to plant in 'short rows'.

Am I correct that it is exactly what it says, or is it a gardening term I am missing? And why would some crops need to be planted in short rows?

I agree with Mum.

PS There are no silly questions on here! (Though some of the answers don't bear close scrutiny  )

Hope you kept the curtains closed 

Thanks both - I won't tell you about the confusion in our house when I said I was chitting in the conservatory!!
