hello all

hi everyone my name is dave long i.e LONGEY forum name ,im a 62 yr old male with 3 yrs more work to do then its ,give it some allotment time, im a very keen gardener ,who kept up a fantastic garden for 20+ yrs ,till kids married off,then alas i grassed it all over,(broke my heart, but made wife +grandkids happy)
ive secured a plot on a local allotment,ive double dug +weeded & manured with somereally well rotted crew yard manure ,hope to get some good returns from it as surrounding plots grow really well
A query i would like to ask the forum excuse my ignorance is regarding shallots ,ive always grown from sets, but ive purchased dobies f1 ambition seeds ,does each plant only make 1 bulb or does it multiply as does sets, thanks for any replies

dave

Hi Longey, growing shallots from seed will produce one shallot per seed unlike growing from sets. I personally prefer growing from seed as I find they are less likely to bolt and also the seed grown shallots are bigger.

If you save the bulbs you grow from seed, and plant them the next year, will they divide?
