Some did better than others, but those that were good seedlings turned into good shallots. So far they are storing well into the new year. |

This year was my first experience with shallots, and I was happy with the results. The only difficulty I had is that they are much more tempramental than onions to start and transplant. But it is now almost January and we are still eating them-they are firm and sweet. |
