  • Shallots, An Outstanding Crop for Fall Planting

    Oct 28, 2019 Categories: Annuals, Bulbs, Growing Instructions, onions, Seeding the Future, Uncategorized, Vegetables

    Basket of Shallots THE SHALLOTS DISCUSSED IN THIS NEWSLETTER ARE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE AT THE FOLLOWING LINK: https://harvesting-history.com/product-category/roots-sets/shallots/ This newsletter contains information that was discussed in our August 24, 2019 newsletter. However, if you are like me, I was not paying attention to shallots in August, so I am repeating and embellishing the info from that newsletter. Shallots are believed to have originated in the region of Palestine and Israel, specifically a port city now a part of Israel known as Ashkelon. It is a curious fact that the term, scallion, which we use to describe bunching onions, is a corruption of Ashkelon. The shallot’s scientific name, Allium cepa, describes a group of onion-like plants including onions, walking onions and multiplier onions. Years ago, shallots were called multiplier onions,

  • Critter Resistant Spring Bulbs – Species Tulips, Part I

    Sep 07, 2018 Categories: Annuals, Seeding the Future

    Species Tulips Before we start into this newsletter, I must issue the following disclaimer: I am about to describe for you 4 species tulips that I will tell you deer don’t eat, BUT all of you need to know that when deer are stressed enough, they will eat anything and everything. This includes thorny holly leaves, cactus and the lovely tulips I am about to describe. In my garden, where there are plenty of deer every day, these tulips are not touched, but even I know that at some future date they may be consumed. For those of us in 21st century America, the species tulips are a wonder. These are the original wild tulips collected from Persia, the Caucasus, Africa, Southern Europe, etc. Even today, wild species
