Onions, Shallots and Tulips In Pots

Well it is root week and having already sown (biodynamic system) overwintering onion sets into modules for the allotment and shallots direct into the polytunnel, it is time for me to sow some more using the synodic system. I am growing Radar and Shakespeare as my Japanese onion sets this year. Golden Gourmet and Jermor are my shallot varieties.

It's bulb time too and with that in mind I intend planting up two pots to provide some Spring cheer outside my greenhouse door, variety Tulipa "Vagota".

As Autumn gathers apace and the leaves start to fall, I would urge you to remember to gather them up and either black bag them or make a chicken wire cage. We have the latter and one of our jobs this week will be to transfer last year's leaf mold out for use in the polytunnel, leaving an empty space for this year's haul.
