How to grow shallots – advice for growing from sets or seed from an experienced kitchen gardener

A selection of harvested shallots.

Shallots are fantastic members of the allium family that are very simple to grow and each one planted will give you a harvest of multiple bulbs. The crops have a milder flavor than onions and come in a range of sizes, colors, and shapes. 

If you want to know more about how to grow shallots, the crops can either be grown from sets, which can be planted in fall or spring, or from seed. They are very similar to onions in that regard and can also store for an impressively long time after you harvest shallots in the summer.
