Not as good as I wanted

This is a very late report about my previous shallot cultivation results. I am currently renting a new land plot so that I can rest the land that my father cultivates. He is now growing rice, and that is the way we can stop the disease from spreading and getting stronger if we cultivate the same crop over and over again. That is the way that we use here. Let's say we grow the secondary crop, like long bean, shallot, or chilly, at some point we go back to plant rice, so that the diseases or pests that are on the land will die as we flood the land.

Ok, going back to the land that I was renting, it seems that the land was not really suitable for growing shallots. It received too much water from the neighboring land, as it is a little bit lower. Too much water is never good for growing shallots, as it makes the bulb go bad or rotten.

Actually on the vegetative stage of the shallot was great, it grows so well, healthy and green, as you can see in the last photo in this post. But as soon as it went into the generative stage, this is when it starts to make the bulb big, the problem arose because of the excessive water.

The plant wilted, and those that survived split too much. So as a result, the bulb became small.

As you can see in the photo below, these are the results from my last shallot season. Not as great as I wanted, not to mention thinking how well it was during the vegetative stage.
