This is the start of this years garden. Actually I planted the cloves of garlic and the bulbs of shallots back in October. They have been slowly making there way upward all winter. Compared to the garlic I planted last year, these guys are much further along. This is the first time I am growing shallots, they are the plants in the rear of the photo. I use at least a shallot a week at home so these should keep me supplied for a while. As far the garlic, this year I am growing five times as much as I did last season. I am growing both a hard neck and soft neck varieties. The soft neck garlic aren't pictured and are a bit farther behind then the hard necks. I am getting excited for the garden this year, I have lots of planning still to do, but that's half the fun. As far as these alliums are looking, I say this should be a productive year.
