Grow and enjoy eating your home-grown shallots.
Over winter planting for early harvest, these are excellent for cooking for pickling. Side growth can be used in delicious spring salads.
Shallots require deep cultivation and well-drained soil.
Plant in autumn, 1cm deep, 5cm apart.
They will benefit from an application of fertilizer into the soil, prior to planting.
Plant as instructed.
Check every few days, until growth commences – then replant and sets that have been disturbed by birds etc.
When the leaves start to die down, use a fork to partly easy the shallots out of the soil. After a few days, bend the tops over.
After a similar period, lift the shallots leaving them on the surface to ripen. When dry, rub off the loose skin and roots.
They can them be stored in a cool dry place in trays.
