shallot harvest question
« on: June 25, 2020, 08:35 »
I'm growing them for the first time and they fell over last week but are still green.  Will they grow much more as I'm thinking of getting them out of the ground before the rain hits tomorrow?

I'd leave them until the foliage has dried off completely - they'll survive the rain.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Thanks.  I guess the brassicas will have to spend a few more weeks in pots. 
Pleased I'm not digging in this weather though!

June is always a balancing act for me. The allotment is full and many plants are waiting for space to be released. Shallots are usually the first crop out, they are plenty big enough,  and I have just cleared the bed to make way for leeks.(cut of most of the leaves and they are drying in the greenhouse.) I still have white rot and whenever an onion was affected I would dig out the soil and plant a sweetcorn in its place. I have planted my sprout plants and winter PSB at the end of each path. I'll start lifting 2nd earlies in July and space will be available again.
