Hi Everyone

Just been to check on the plot and its not overly wet at all. i was wondering if i could get my shallot sets in tomorrow ? my only concern is it gives it to be very cold with night frosts from wednesday onwards but still dry

Cheers

Shallots can take it.

Now is an ideal time to get them in. I'm thinking of doing mine tomorrow, unless Mrs Digger has other plans for me!

Hi

Many thanks looks like a plan for tomorrow then. Just another question do you think it will be ok for spring sown garlic as well ?

Cheers
Jim

Hope so, I've just come in from planting my garlic (3 days later than last year!)  

Shallots will go in as soon as I can get the leeks out of the way!

Start your shallots off in trays/pots in a greenhouse or tunnel for a month or so to get a nice set of roots. Avoids any issue with the bad weather

just planted a row of shallots never grown these before so fingers grossed also seeded two rows of carrots early nantes in a sheltered garden so they might germinate if im lucky if not can always reseed later

I intended to plant some on Saturday but a check on the soil made me change my mind. It was really wet and claggy so I put it off til it dries out a bit

I planted my red sun shallots today from wilkos so lets see how they do

As said previously, get them in pots in the greenhouse, growing strongly, avoiding any bad weather in he next month.
