Working on an article about planting shallots in containers!
So called “banana shallots” had aspergillus mold.
Planting six inches apart. Doesn’t fit many without overcrowding.
Over crowded in years past…

has anyone grown Potiron or Potimarron?
I was not familiar with it until Sunshine mentioned it here
Red Kuri Squash is related to it.

I tried to plan a few shallots in a tall planter (definitely not crowded) and they all failed miserably. Started out well, but somehow molded/rotted out, even though a neighboring plant on the other end was doing fine. Will wait to see how yours do!

I have two grocery store shallots in the fridge. One is sending out a shoot. What are my chances of getting more? Usually mild winters here, and the spot I’m planting them in is protected pretty well from frost, but in hard freeze times we cover the pots
