Shallots

rdak:
hmm...not adviseable as shallots and leeks are in the same rotation family.

boxingtortoise:
Ahhh, i see.

Can you grow them in manured soil?

cleo:
Yes,they will love it.  Pop your potatoes in where the leeks have been.

tim:
Thanks, Emma, for that - just checked mine again, and they are THROUGH!

So now the next lot will go in tomorrow, since they are just sprouting - they are pink, and only bred by one farmer locally - just got to try them. Then the bought-in ones will hopefully arrive in due course.

And so while the weather's nice, the garlic can go in as well. = Tim

Oh, bt - just dib a shallow hole and put them in up to their neck, about 9" apart. Bring the soil back up to them. Or start them in modules like the experts?

RSJK:
Planted 6 rows of shallots in the lottie yesterday.  An old saying by my Grandad was to set them on the shortest day and lift them on the longest.  I think chance would be a find thing.
