Week 15 - Bed DD4 Planting

This bed was prepared by double digging with some of the sod being chopped up and placed between the two layers of soil for extra fertility. In this bed we planted (from south to north):

• Red Sun Shallots (12 bulbs covering 20% of bed) - mild flavoured red variety, ideal for salads and stores well
• Printanor Garlic (40 cloves covering 20% of bed) - spring planting variety with cream coloured cloves harvested in the autumn
• Sturon Onion (120 sets covering 60% of bed) - a golden bulb variety with fine flavour and good storability
