Message: [QUOTE="headfullofbees, post: 213318, member: 408"] I built 4 really good raised beds for garlic & onions at my allotments, then moved home!! So I built 2x 12ftx6 ft raised beds here in my new home & have had an excellent crop of garlic, onions & shallots. I didn't really know how well they'd do 100 miles farther north, so I budgeted for them being approx half the size they were. As it turned out, they are just as good, just a little later (2-3 wks) than previously, so I now have twice the onions I need. I was especially surprised by the over-wintered short-day onions, as I was led to believe they were marginal in my old home, 100 miles south. [/QUOTE]
