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.

Grown from seed, yield was not great in my garden. Good flavor, though, and has stored well so far.
