Davidor Shallot

Great germination

First time growing these. Used potting soil mixed with sand to germinate these in. Had better germination with these than any other onion I've ever tried to grow. Gently seperated the shallot seedlings n planted them in a well tilled space. So far, looks like they've all survived and lived thru 2 frosts also. Don't know how they'll do after this, but very pleased with them up to this point.

Perfect germination

I planted these out last month as I live in an area with mild winters. I also asked Territorial about fall planting & was told that should work with these seeds for my location. It was a bit late for putting them in but the weather was also dry so I hand watered to prevent the soil from crusting until the fall rain set in, dry days I still took out my watering can. I bought a half gram and have at least 100 seedlings so based on the seed count per gram I had perfect germination. The seeds are tiny, I expect those who reported failure to germinate may have allowed the seed bed to dry after planting: tiny seeds like alliums & carrots take steady wet weather or a bit of babysitting when starting or they can easily fail. I look forward to harvesting these next year in the summer, so far so good!

Nice Intermediate-Day Shallot

It's difficult to find a good intermediate-day shallot, and this is it! This grew well for me in the Rockies at 38.77 °N latitude. Good germination, and nice bulbs. The Conserver did okay, but these did better. I will definitely be doing these again.
