Long Day - Shallots are a mix between garlic and onion. They provide a delicious mild flavor with much more sugar than onions or garlic. Shallots are able to be grown in many soil conditions and many climates. They can be overwintered in the soil to harvest the following year as multiple smaller shallots similar to how garlic grows, or grown by seed and harvested the first year much like an onion. Highly prized by chefs for their delicate flavor and bringing top dollar at farmers' markets.
I love these Shallots, They have great flavor, easy to grow.
I grow them in my greenstalk but this year, i am growing them in that and pots. brought my greenstalk in the house last year and had fresh shallots all winter. Awesome. :) "pots should be easier".. :)
Save me lots of money, they are so expensive in the store $4.99 a lbs. :0 !!! do the math if ONLY 1/2 come to harvest (which i have had great germ rates) and each .25 lb. that is somewhere around $100 in shallots for $2. they freeze, dehydrate or keep them in a pot in your kitchen. a WIN WIN<:)
Starts easy , growing in my hydroponics
Everything arrived in great condition and we are excited to see what we can grow!
These grew well for me in Ohio. They didn't get super big for me but they have kept very well in storage. Will be growing again this year with more fertilizer hoping for a bigger yield!
Great size, flavor and harvest size. Easy to grow.
Planted my basil as soon as thepackets arrived!
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
Our banana peppers arrived fairly quickly, even though there was a winter storm in Michigan.
I'm sure they will do well, as most seeds from Migardener do well.
I’ve been growing these for multiple years now. I love all the little surprises that come up. I have quite a collection of cactus plants now, thanks to these seed packets.
