You must be a mind reader because I was just doing research on growing shallots last night!

I have great luck with zebrune red shallots. Zone 5b south shore of lake superior. I start seeds in potting mix in February, in my basement under grow lamps . I use dry wall mud trays with drilled holes in the bottom (plastic ones or stainless steel ). I moisten soil (not wet) Seed sowing on the surface sow or covered lightly with soil . Then spritz with water bottle. Cover with plastic wrap. Lower the light about 2 inches above the trays. Please don’t let dry out. 10 days to two weeks for germination. After germination remove plastic wrap. When they have to about6-8 inches give them a haircut take about two inches off. May have to get another time before planting outdoors. Plant like onions 6 inches apart in rows about afoot apart. Just thought I would share. Thanks for all your hard work Luke !! Love your channel. Dean

Dutch Red shallots are extremely productive. I grew them exactly the same as garlic, including separating the cloves.

I did my shallots from seed last year in a bed very similar to this and they did very well. Some of my sets are the size of my fist.

I solved all of my shallot growing problems by buying Zebrune Shallot seeds from you. I had horrible germination from 6 other varieties and 3 other companies prior.

I've not considered sets of shallots as I've never seen them grown, so now knowing that pattern, I'll see if I can't get some to add to my gardens this year.

So funny. I was just looking to see if you did a shallot video this morning. There was a really old one and I was getting into the garden in the morning and just went with it. Thank you for the update and I will be pulling a few out and spacing them wider apart. Thank you again for the video it is really perfect timing😊

Yay! Thank you for this! I grew shallots from seed this year and had some to plant! I found out that I'm able to tolerate shallots waay better than onion, so I wanted to grow a bunch more next year. Planted it 15 of my sets and I'll also plant more seed in the spring!

I followed advice for the last couple of years to plant shallot sets in Spring not Autumn (as I do with most of my garlic). Have had good returns on the crops with none of them going to seed so far. Some of the garlic I've planted in early Spring before didn't vernalise properly and gave me back a giant bulb but not the shallots. Now I've heard you say this I'll plant them now rather than waiting, but based on my results they seem to be a lot more forgiving than garlic.

Is there any difference between the shallots you get in Europe vs the states. See the ones I get in Sweden (usually from the Netherlands, Spain or France) we plant in the spring and still get a set of 4-10 onions depending on type. Makes me want to try to plop some down now but when I've done that before they run and flowered, still haven't tried in years.

@onni8548 10 ай бұрын

Yeah I was thinking the same. Got an average of 8 shallots on one set in south Finland and I planted them in the spring!

@dustyflats3832 10 ай бұрын

All onions will flower in second year. Mine from seed did not and got huge. Zebrune shallots. Never tried replanting,but will now as I just found a couple and they grew up out of the ground and want to regrow again. We are finally getting colder weather so will try it.

@foxnoxness4989 10 ай бұрын

@@dustyflats3832 most of mine don't bloom. I think I had two of around 130 that sprouted blooms this season. I just keep my shallots for next season and plant them mid spring. And harvest 3-4 months later.

@dustyflats3832 10 ай бұрын

Lol! I had giant red shallots I just harvested. I must be doing something right😅. Zebrune shallots from seed got huge and jumped out of the ground. Wonder if I should replant it and see what happens as they do want to grow again.🧐 I just topped rows with rotted bark. It looked better than the bagged potting soil I bought.

Luke, can shallots be planted in late fall in zone 3? The temperature drops to between -40 and -50 degrees Celsius during January February. Most plants freeze solid & die in this zone over the winter.

This looks like it might be fun, but I was wondering whether shallots, onions, and garlic can be grown in bags? I might not be here for next Spring so may need to make some things portable and wanted to know if that will still work.

You can, they generally get a tad smaller but still pack a punch of flavour 💓
