Planted in autumn the shallots and garlic are growing well. A period of cold helps them along. I have planted Jermor Shallot, described as a true french shallot and Cristo garlic, a french garlic with a strong flavour - great - watch out colleagues at work!
I covered the bed with a net to avoid Rosie rolling on them and birds pulling up the tips of the shallots.
As you can see below they are now coming up well, and the net has been lifted. Rosie loved the net and stayed in it for hours, she thought it was great fun pretending I couldn't see her then leaping out - or she had somehow fashioned a rather elaborate fascinator. You decide!
Come summer we will lift them and store and use over the following months.
