I’ll try to combine shallots and onion sets in one big pot and then plant another a fortnight later. I suspect
that each type may grow differently. I have enough left over to do several pots

If I trim them quite high up I suspect the growing points may continue to grow for some little time.

Would it be best then to plant them out in the flower garden to see if any recover enough to set seed?

I have all of one Babbington’s Leek, but some walking onions that I exchanged for some well rotted horse muck. I’ve not yet used them but am growing them as a a novelty currently. Maybe this year.

And I bought literally two dozen Elephant “Garlic” for a pound when our garden centre had a sale. 10 for a pack of 2 rather than £2.99. I cleared them out. I’ll grow some of these for food and the rest in my flower bed. as they sound like they will be growing big seed heads.
I’m still getting my head around biodynamic sowing, so am likely to do it wrongly at first.
