Garlic (private stock): did well, despite having some of them in path due to garden bed rearrangement.
Leeks (Tadorna HM): new variety good, but later than in previous years.
Onions from seed (New York Early HM, Rossa di Milano HM, Walla Walla R): Sets not great growing in squash beds, switch them back to tomato bed. Seeded varieties started well, but lost many soon after transplant (cold stress?) and most failed to reach full size.
Onion sets (yellow & white Agway): grew in perimeter squash beds so were shaded out and didn’t do well, grow around tomato bed again next year.
Scallions (Parade B): did reasonably well in less than ideal spot, did need some infill seeding, but lasted the season.
Shallots (Conservor HM): did well, but smaller than usual, similar to onions.
Walking Onions (private stock): replanted from previous location in spring, hit by flooding in new location near entrance.
