| Normally, shallots are planted in the spring around here. That's when they are available from nurseries, seed companies, etc. They can also be planted in the fall and I've done it a number of times. However, of all alliums, it's shallots and potato onions which are first to suffer winter kill here. Mulching often helps but has been no guarantee for me. Golden shallots are probably one of the milder ones and usually most readily available. Reds and grays are often noted for being stronger. Martin |
