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.
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
