While shopping at Walmart with friends, one of them alerted me to a display that had different varieties of shallots prepackaged. I picked two varieties and planted them the next day. Out of eighteen, thirteen are growing, some better than others. This time I followed directions and planted them two inches below the ground. Now I can compare which way is best.
The picture below is a shallot that was too small to pull last fall. It made it through the winter and is growing big enough to pick this time. I do plan to plant some this fall for an early summer harvest.
This sunset was just too beautiful not to share.
