Try sowing about 4-5 seeds in a module and planting that out. I use that technique on lots of alliums (biggies go in single planted, springs and picklers maybe 8-10 seeds per but the technique is the same)... I find the growing clumps easy enough to weed around, with shallots I guess I look at a sowing 4 seeds per in a 24-drop module in early february with a bit of heat and plant out early April after hardening off.... seemed to have a lot of shallots this year for the effort involved.... I use Prisma which is an F1 so no good for really trying to save seed from, currently don't have time/space to try and breed my own line of shallots.... I jsut pick up a couple of packs of seed in the Wyevales sales....chrisc
How big was the pan ;) ;D.
I normally grow softneck as it keeps better but am not sure of the best varieties - has anyone grown any of the following and, if so, do you recommend or not? I am looking for large cloves if poss. Marco; Cristo; Iberian Wight; Germidourthanks
