Hi Kathy. I never thought of that, what a fliipin' good idea ! :thumb: A friend of mine is going to give me some Scallions (or Welsh Onions), maybe this idea would be a better option, hmm. Cheers...freddy.

 

pleasure Freddy,also take up less room, and taste delicious

 

Looking good Kathy:gnthb:

 

thanks Capney and JKW. you still have loads of time.
i stagger mine all summer

 

Hi John ,yes I plant them about every 2 weeks ,but I grow them in the greenhouse ,and they come up
quickly ,don't plant them to deeply, I always leave about A quarter out of the soil
water well and they keep me going well into the autumn
hope this helps,will post another photo here and let you see

 

Thanks for the idea Kathy. I've got some on the way for shallots but I'm going to put some in for spring onions as they can be a bit hit or miss. Mind, some of my spring onios from last year got missed and they stood through the winter. We finished them last night.

 

here you go John and Alice,I do 3 or 4 to an 8inch pot depending on the size of your bulbs

 

Hi Kathy,

when do I know my shallots are ready for lifting (and eating ;-)).
The green shoots are about 8 inches long.

 

hi bashy i would lift one now. cut of the bottom and seperate
lovely and fresh spring onions,good luck
