My shallots died
« on: October 01, 2019, 19:55 »
I inherited a very small veg patch last year and planted shallots and garlic. All my shallots looked really green and healthy to begin with, then they all died off. I managed to get a few small garlic bulbs and I’d like to grow them again but worried if I plant garlic where the shallots were, they’re going to die off as well?

When did you plant them and when did they die off? If Autumn planted are you sure they were overwintering varieties as some cant hack the cold and are better suited to spring planting.

I had success with Germidour garlic planted last autumn, they end up looking a bit ratty towards the end but the bulbs were a good size and the flavour superb.

I planted them in spring and gradually throughout the summer they died off even though I watered them.

Sounds to me that they did what they are supposed to do, did they split & you got out more than you put in? Any photos?
