What you need to know about planting garlic, shallots and onions.
Garlic has long had an association with the spooky season: The pungent bulb tends to ward off fanged members of the undead in vampire books and movies.
Hardneck garlic has a hard stalk that can’t be braided , is more likely to bolt and has smaller bulbs but larger individual cloves. The bulbs have a shorter shelf life but are easier to peel. San Diego Seed Company owner Brijette Peña said that while garlic can be planted starting in late October it can also be planted as late as January or February for some parts of Southern California depending on how malleable the ground is at that time. However, she notes that the later gardeners start, the smaller their bulbs will be by harvest time.
She explained that long-day onions are accustomed to places such as Alaska, where the number of daylight hours in the summer tends to be much higher than in Southern California. Making sure onions are regularly irrigated is also important. Peña recommends monitoring weather patterns and watering accordingly.Like its allium relatives, the humble shallot likes well-draining soil, regular fertilization and regular watering.
