How To Grow SHALLOTS In ANY Climate: Complete Curing And Storing Guide

Nice work

I’m trying to figure out how to grow them at high altitude in the mountains of Colombia, South America. Any tips will be appreciated! (Our climate is cool, daytime highs 76°F, lows 55°F). Might be worth considering adding supplemental light to extend day length?😊

Can you let them seed, second year and collect seeds? If so how developed does the flower need to be?

so you wait until the tops are totally dead and dried out and almost withered away?

hopefully mine can go ssjb unlike the one in dragon ball legends

Tip from sets u have to plant in fall like garlic

Love these tips! I cant wait to enjoy shallots. Those mesh bags are a super idea! Please keep doing these types of videos. I keep rewatching to go step by step at each phase from seed to harvest. You help so many people do better at gardening and providing food for our family!

How do I know when they’ve cured properly? I’m in PNW and will put in 40 degree basement.

I'm at Lat 28 (Tampa Bay, FL), what are my chances?

did you cut the scapes?

If all my onion sets bolt and make me lots of seeds for next year, I won’t be mad.

Oh gosh, I hope I’m in time to grow shallots. I’m at 37 latitude and my seeds should arrive in a couple of days. I always benefit from your videos. I would have planted sets and probably failed. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge. Your experimentation is a HUGE benefit for us. I probably wouldn’t have figured out that I needed to plant seeds, and given up.

I grew mine from a ste t latitude 28 I think…it made one big onion!

I thought short day referred to the primary growing season. If onions are grown/transplanted in southern usa in january/february when days are shorter vs up north when they might set them out later in the year when days are longer.

I'm so happy to have found this before January!

I have found that I can grow most anything I want hydroponically as I have very little outdoor growing space. Unfortunately, I have been challenged by shallots. My recent attempt was to grow shallots from seed and plant them in a Kratky hydroponic system. They have grown nicely, but have been slow to bulb. I think you might have provided just the right information. I have been growing under 14 hours of light, maybe if I was to drop the duration down to 12 hours, they would bulb. Will put that theory to work tomorrow. Growing shallots just makes sense. The past 2 years I paid $20 for 2 pounds of really nice shallot bulbs, keeping half for eating and half for planting. Last summer in my outdoor garden, only 4 out of 10 grew which might have to do with my resident moles. So, not a great success, but not bad either. I am not done with the indoor growing, I am convinced I can have a substantial success given the right approach. Thanks for all your great videos.

I grew Zebrune shallots for the first time in 2022. Direct sowed into raised bed in first week of April and harvested in late July. The shallots are perfectly sized. I live in San Jose, CA (37 latitude).

Congratulations on your success with shallots and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us !!!

Great information of growing shallots. I had just purchased the Creme Brûlée seeds. I am in central NC zone 7b. Should I start my seeds around January 7th or when do you think is appropriate? I have never grown these before so I am giving them a try.

And huge thank you for adding the note about dog toxicity. That's why I had them planted with kale (separate garden away from the dogs) instead of with the tomatoes where we occasionally let the dogs wander (under supervision). Now if I only didn't store them at room temperature... Thanks! I learned something new today!

By complete chance (I had no idea what I was doing), I did virtually the same things you did. Davidor Shallots, sewn in the first week of January, transplanted out mid-march, interplanted with kale. Complete success first try. Oklahoma City 35 Degrees latitude. Consider your suggestions independently tested and verified. Thanks for confirming what I accidently did right.

Love all your videos!! Your shallots are beautiful! Thanks for another great one ❤️ This is my first year growing shallots and bulbing onions. Pray for me 🤣

I have grown onions, garlic, and leeks for years but have never tried shallots.

I’m in Texas and I’ve never been able to grow shallots. I’m paying attention. I just planted seeds in august.

Congratulations on your success with shallots. They look amazing! Did you use a heat mat and lights to germinate them indoors? I'm in the SF bay area, so I may attempt to grow them. Thank you for this video.

shallots are so conveniently sized too just chop one up with basically any meal and you never have to deal with leftovers

Nice sharing..👍

I want some pink tank tops with the Millennial Gardener logo on it so I can copy your signature look! 😍

Great tips. I live in GA and have a basement would it be possible to store onions and shallots in mesh bags there? Basement has AC and heat and I run dehumidifier.

Your videos are always so informative, I feel confident to try and grow shallots now, thanks so much!

Another great video for onion cultivation. Don't forget Leeks. Tried several times here in southern Wake County.

Appreciate the info, especially regarding storage. I'm at 38 degrees latitude and had limited success but they taste great even when bunched and grown together almost into something akin to a head of garlic,

Bruh you been lifting? Or you juicing your shallots 😂

I'm at 37.7N I'm going to give this a try! I LOVE shallots, there's no substitute.

Nice one! Sweet shallots!👍My little sister wants to grow shallots so I'm going to share this one with her.😃
Love the patterns on handsome Dale fur.🐕

I live in Nebraska and I’ve never had luck with shallots. And onions only once. This year I used seeds and they grew about two inches tall and as big as a pencil eraser. And there they have sat after transplant since June and never have grown anymore. Next year I may try using starts ( grocery store shallots) . Smh.

I’m in New York , so it’s very easy to grow shallot. Just sow seeds and water and wait to harvest.

What do you use shallots for? Are they in place of onions? I have never cooked much till now because food costs so much now. Good to see the happy boy Dale!!

we grow them like garlic and do pretty well. We buy the seed, it comes just like garlic and plant it at the same time. Want to add - we live in New England.

Great info, as always! Thank you 😊👍

Very nice shallot Harvest ✨💚

Oh my goodness, another great video I can't wait to try myself. I especially like how you make a point to tell people when plants are poisonous to dogs/pets

Do you know where the shallot seeds from Burbee came from? Shoprite in my area sells shallots from France. They last for quite a while in room temperature without a problem.

My grocery store has not had shallots in stock since last SPRING. I need this video. I was contemplating Egyptian Walking Onion because of drought and being in 8b. I am going to try this.

they look great. congrats

I never realized Texas summer days were "short". I could've sworn they're a thousand degrees and a week long each 😭 😂

Great video, thank you.

Thank you for the lesson on how to grow Shatllots.

For the amount of shallots that I buy I need to be growing them in my garden. Can’t wait to get started next year.
