Shallots

Whoopee! Popped up the plot this morning to check everything was okay after the snow, and not only was everything looking great - appear to have lost only one broad bean plant, but my shallots are finally through! So far a bit patchy, but I shall keep my fingers crossed that gaps will soon be filled! ;D

Mines are still in the bag and will stay there for at least another 4-6 weeks.

I have bought some Shallots at the weekend. I do not have a clue how to prepare them, prepare the earth, how to plant them, when to plant them.
Can i put them right in when i take the leeks out?

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

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

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?

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.

OK-it`s time to tell the truth and shame the Devil-I have started my shallots off in trays because the garden is a tip!!(as one member can testify to). And what isn`t still covered in weeds has these huge piles of muck on it-I will get there though :D
