I don't have heirloom shallots, altho I found the idea of leaving one plant to seed a good one, although how long do shallot seeds take to grow into bulbs? Do I need to lift them and overwinter? I really needed to know how far apart to grow shallots in a container.
I have planted out shallots in trays in the greenhouse, early jan. however they was in seed form and not in bulb! Was this a good idea as i am a novice allotment owner. Alot of ppl seam to be planting out bulb form?
hi all have planted my shallots in between garlic in my raised bed put fleece oround them with strong sticks around and stappeld to wood made my onion bed and put slug pellets dowm first pinned it and put 3x3 on edges and 1foot by 2 paving on top and pined with larger pins if it looks good next week if ok ???? will plant sets
Planted my Red Sun shallots last week (£1.99 for 16 good sized ones at B+M) Following the enormously high westerly winds we had last night I shall probably find them in next doors plot!! Still, I have some Zebrune grown from seed coming on for planting at a later date.

week with the cold weather coming

That will also help prevent birds pulling them up
