They belong to the Allium family, which also includes onions, garlic, and leeks. Shallots are characterized by their small, bulbous shape and a mild, sweet taste that is less pungent than that of regular onions. This page aims to provide an informative overview of growing shallots in the garden, including their benefits, cultivation practices, and care requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the primary advantages of growing shallots is their ability to thrive in a variety of soil types. They prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. Shallots can be planted in early spring or late summer, depending on the climate. When planting, it is recommended to space the bulbs approximately 6 to 8 inches apart to allow for adequate growth and air circulation. Shallots typically require a growing season of about 90 to 120 days before they are ready for harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShallots are relatively low-maintenance plants, but they do require consistent moisture, especially during the early stages of growth. It is essential to water them regularly, ensuring that the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to bulb rot, which is detrimental to the crop. Additionally, applying a balanced fertilizer during the growing season can enhance bulb development and overall yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompanion planting is another beneficial practice when growing shallots. They are known to deter certain pests, such as aphids and carrot flies, making them an excellent companion for carrots, beets, and other root vegetables. Furthermore, planting shallots alongside herbs like basil and parsley can improve their growth and flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvesting shallots is a straightforward process. They are typically ready to be harvested when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, which usually occurs in late summer or early fall. It is advisable to gently lift the bulbs from the soil using a garden fork to avoid damaging them. After harvesting, shallots should be cured in a dry, well-ventilated area for several weeks to enhance their storage life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn conclusion, shallots are a valuable addition to any home garden. Their ease of cultivation, pest-repelling properties, and culinary versatility make them an attractive choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. By following proper planting and care techniques, gardeners can enjoy a bountiful harvest of shallots that can be used in a variety of dishes, enriching their culinary experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eShallots have a milder taste and odor than \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.xenanghangstill.com\/collections\/all-onion-sets\"\u003eonions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, so shallots are more commonly eaten raw. However, when cooked, shallots can lose their flavor quickly, and so onions are preferable in cooked food like stir fries. Space shallots appx. 4-6 inches apart with the rows 18 inches apart. Plant the bulb root side down, the top of the bulb 1 inch below the surface. Planting too deep grows elongated bulbs that don’t store well.  \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/how-to-plant-grow-and-harvest-organic-shallots\"\u003eHow to Plant, Grow, and Harvest Organic Shallots »\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"shallot-organic-non-gmo-dutch-yellow","title":"Shallot (sets) - Dutch, Yellow (Organic)","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/www.xenanghangstill.com\/s\/files\/1\/0089\/1562\/files\/Dutch_Yellow_Banner_Image.png?4910488000297502627\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuick Overview:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to grow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent keeper\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreamy yellow flesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh yielding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDurable copper skin and creamy yellow flesh.
