So going on the shallots explanation, where you plant a small clove of garlic, you will get a larger bulb with large cloves but fewer than where you plant a large clove..?? As in, a large clove will give you a bulb with more cloves but smaller ones..???
Knew about it for shallots, so suppose makes senseI dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

I've given up on autumn sown japanese onions as I get good results from Troy & Senshyu sets and it works out cheaper in the long run.
Both my autumn planted sets and my spring planted sets have done fantastically well this year, the former being used at the mo and the latter still to be lifted.
Out of about 300 sets, only two have ran to seed
The spring planted sets were only positioned about four inches apart but have still made sizeable onions..My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)
Diversify & prosper

Shallots were a bust. Over wintering onions were okay. Garlic was and is cracking. Got rust, and dug it up. Was my only success of my growing season. Split beautifully. Going to try again though, as the weather has been freakish. Not so sure about Red Electric onions. Were a beautiful red, just not very big.

Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

My garlic is better than normal but my onions are about half the size of last year and loads of bolted. Shallots are about normalish.

Onions are doing very well..very big despite me planting them too close...
Shallots were good too particularly Jermor and Picasso..I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....
