Garlic and shallots planted

18/10/2018

 
Thursday 18th October
Having prepared the ground with the cultivator on the last visit I was ready to plant my garlic, shallots and onion sets. Before actually planting I raked the surface flat and trod a narrow path through the centre at right angles to the main path. This leaves two beds 4 foot wide so I could plant in short rows. Planting long rows has just resulted in massive crops that I don't need. At least with short rows it will be easier to sow and plant in succession.

​Following the new pattern, I planted 3 rows of garlic saved from this year's crop (my three best bulbs), 2 rows of Provence Wight bought in, 3 rows of Eschallotte Grise (French for Grey Shallot; excellent when diced over my salad - if it grows well here in the UK), and 16 Jermor (always grows well here - I've won prizes in the past!)
