- Chips are often cultivated from cloves, but some species are grown from seed.
- Arrange salad cloves pointed up end to end, wide end down.
- The top of the seedling should be level with the soil, only lightly covered at most.
- Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep.
- Space plants 4 to 6 inches (10-15cm) apart or thin seedlings 4 to 6 inches apart.
- Space salads 6 inches apart in wide rows, plant densely.
- Space rows 9 inches (23cm) apart.
- Shallot bulbs contain 3 to 4 cloves protected by a papery brown skin. Planting individual cloves.
- Replant any bulbs that work their way out of the soil.
- Shallot seedlings started indoors can be set in the garden about 8 weeks after germination when the seedlings are about 5 to 6 inches tall.
- Grow salads with beets, lettuce, strawberries, delicious summer, and tomatoes.
- Do not add beans or peas to salads.
What happens if you don’t hit salads?
If you let it grow long enough, your shallots will develop spikes that come off the top foliage. These will continue to grow into flowers, which then produce seeds.

You can choose to let the stems grow and flower if you want to harvest the seeds for next year’s crop. However, this could affect the taste of the shallots and make them less flavorful.
Storing solids, and using them in your cooking
Since the flavor of solids softens in storage, the key to their success is where they are where they can be safely stored over the winter. A cool, dry pantry is ideal, as too much moisture will cause it to mold or even sprout. Also, consider the storage qualities of the seeds you want to grow. If you want a constant supply of salads and a variety of flavors, consider the varieties that will give you good taste and a long shelf life. In my experience, ‘Polka’ and ‘Besançon’ are great for storage, and the ‘Gray’ salad can’t be beat for flavor.
A plentiful supply of shallots is a joy in the kitchen as shallots can be prepared in a number of ways. Onions and garlic are usually used to create the base flavors, but scallions are often used to “finish,” that extra zip that pushes a good recipe over the top. I encourage you to try the recipes on the right.
Harvest Salads:
- Before harvesting the salads, you will need to find them first. Shallots will be prepared for harvest in the last weeks of June or in the first weeks of July when planted at harvest time or at the end of July when planted at spring time. You will know they are ready when you see the foliage turning yellow.
- Choose a dry day and use a fork or spade to gently loosen the soil around the lettuces and then lift them to the soil surface. Make sure you are careful not to dislodge them or do any damage to the roots.
- The salads must be left exposed on top of the soil for at least 1 sunny day. When they are prepared for harvest, they will be dried and the dirt will come out easily.
- When you find the lettuces, it will help them to reach the maturity stage because the sun will support them as they ripen and are exposed.
- To remove the lettuce from the soil, you will need to use a spade or fork and hold it to the side of the lettuce. A spade must be stuck in the soil present under the lettuce at a 45 degree angle. This will help us break the roots and raise the salads in a simple way.
- All shallots must be shaken to remove excess dirt on the bulbs.
