SHALLOTS
Yesterday I planted my onion and shallot sets. As it turned out we had such a mild winter I could have planted them in the fall with the garlic. But, this should work out okay. I also planted an odd onion called the Egyptian Walking Onion. It was great to get out there with the digging fork and turn over some dirt. I hated to disturb the worms but one bed had been used last year for potatoes, the other for cukes and they had to be rebuilt. When I got down the beds looked completely different, wider by a foot and a half. I put down 160 onion sets. Guess that should be enough for us and a few others. Haven't grown from sets before. Only from seed which I've never managed to thin properly. So perhaps this is the way for me to go.
We are enjoying overwintered kale and chard along with wild nettles.
Reliable supplier, best source and discount price.
