Hi all, I planted my shallots and garlic out yesterday but rather than do blocks like last year I've done rows. Only thing is, the number of sets and cloves I had didn't fill two complete rows each, I've got one and a bit of each. Obviously the remaining part of a row is a waste of space (apart from triggering my OCD tendencies that it's not neat and tidy complete rows) so what can I plant to use the space? Was thinking radish or something that I'd usually cram in somewhere. Any better ideas? All advice gratefully received!

Carrots? I read somewhere that growing carrots and onions near each other deterred carrot fly. Maybe just some teeny tiny ones for pulling early and having a baby sweet ones?
Or spring onions, that sounds nice. Or maybe a different kind of onion - red ones?

Keeping on the Allium theme, how about some Leeks. Or a bag of Onion sets.Last edited by Bigmallly; 22-02-2015, 10:57 AM.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Thanks all, there'll be maincrop onions and leeks going in the bed in due course but have been and bought a packet of spring onion seeds to use to fill all the gaps, il begin to sow these in a month or so. Never grown spring onions before so didn't cross my mind to do those to fill the rows. Thanks again for the advice.
