Shallot Planting Information:

Shallots are very close to garlic and are very easy to grow. Shallots are basically a very mild form of garlic. Like garlic, they reproduce by bulb division underground. The green tops grow about 10" tall and can be used like green onions. The seeds should be planted indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the ground can be worked. You can also plant seeds directly in the garden. Spring planting should occur as soon as the soil can be worked. In the South, you can also plant them in the fall for a winter harvest. Shallots stop growing just past mid-summer, so plant them in early spring or fall. Keep free from weeds. Plants can grow 8 to 12" tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep seedlings and transplants consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when planting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro every 2 weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Wait until the leaves die off before harvesting. Then spread bulbs on the ground for 3 to 5 days to cure.

DM – Downy Mildew

Scientific Name: Peronospora farinosa, Peronospora parasitica, Pseudoperonospora cubensis

Type: Fungus

Downy mildew is a fungal disease that affects the growth of beets, broccoli, cantaloupes & melons, cauliflower, cucumbers, spinach, Swiss chard, and watermelons. Downy Mildew is most serious for cucumbers, which can drop dead in a week and stop producing any fruit to harvest. The disease affects both seedlings and mature plants.The infected leaves are retarded in growth, turn yellow then brown, and turn downward. A white to gray color mold appears on the underside of the leaves. The leaves will wilt and eventually die. The disease can spread rapidly under favorable conditions and infect the entire field. The infected plants should be removed and burned to avoid further infestation. The disease is favorable when temperatures are 58-72 F and usually occur in early spring and autumn in cooler weather when moisture and humidity are very high. Fungicides can help manage the disease. Good air circulation and increasing space between the plants can help control and prevent the disease, so use wide plant spacing to promote drying of the leaves. The best option is to use disease resistant varieties.
