your views on garlic and shallots

 I have grown the Jolimont and it was good but I do not know that shallot variety. Garlic certainly grows best from overwintering in soil, planted from now until early November, but shallots do well from spring planting too and this year I planted twenty bulbs of Longor in early March for a fantastic harvest by July. I think there is less tendency to mildew from spring plantings of onion and shallot.
