I finally got around to planting my shallots a couple of days ago. It wasn't clear to me from the instructions if I was supposed to separate the bulbs into separate pieces or not, but I did. If I understand correctly, it's just like planting tulips or any other bulb, i.e., they'll sit in the ground doing nothing until spring comes, then a miracle happens and up they grow. However, the directions make it sound much more iffy than that. Well, we'll see.
I planted the garlic a few weeks ago so I hope the occasional warm days we've had haven't fooled it into thinking that spring had come. The weather has been crazy, fluctuating between 23 and 55 degrees F during the day and mostly freezing at night. A couple of snow storms, too, rare enough in Atlanta to cause major road problems. What's a farmer to do?
