This is how I grow shallots in 5 simple steps. Shallots are similar to onions in the way they taste and the way they are used in the kitchen. I find they are a bit sweeter than onions. Shallots grow in a similar way to garlic - you plant one bulb and it will divide and multiply as grows, producing several bulbs from one original bulb.  🌱 Step 1 - planting. Shallots can be grown from seed or from sets which are immature bulbs. I like to grow them from sets. Once you have your own harvests of shallots you can replant your own so you don’t have to keep buying sets. You can plant shallot sets anytime between October and April. Choose somewhere with well drained soil. I plant my shallots 20cm apart in rows 30cm apart. Planting in rows makes for easier weeding. I use a string line to make sure I’m planting them in a straight line. I use an old spade handle to push a small hole in the soil, pop a shallot in and firm the soil around it. I’m looking for the tips to just be poking out from the soil. 🌱 Step 2 - maintenance. Keep the area well weeded and water in very and hot spells. Apart from that you can leave them to it - they are very low maintenance.  🌱 Step 3 - harvesting. Shallots are ready to harvest about 6 months after planting. You can tell they are ready when the foliage starts to die back. I use a fork to lift them slightly out of the soil so as not to damage the basal plate (the part where the roots grow from) as this affects their storing ability. They I pull them up and shake the earth off them.  🌱 Step 4 - drying. In order for shallots to store they need to be dried. I lay my shallots on a rack I made which is essentially a table with a top made from chicken wire. I put them somewhere warm and dry for a couple of weeks, until the skins are dry and papery. 🌱 Step 5 - storing. I snip the tops off and trim the roots. Store somewhere cool, dry and frost free. #selfsufficient #gyo #growyourown #growyourownfood #homestead #smallholding #garden #lovegardening #kitchengarden #veggarden #plants #igrewthis #ediblegarden #gardendesign #spreadsheets
