Shallots are a member of the onion family, they are smaller and sweeter than traditional onions and highly revered by chefs. You can get shallots in different colors, sizes and shapes, yet all are simple to grow.
Each clump can produce an average of six-to-eight shallots that are harvested in mid-summer and have a surprisingly long storage life. Just like when growing onions, lifting them at the right time and drying them properly can ensure the longest lifespan for your crop.
