The bulbs should be planted 2 to 3 inches deep. Shallots are very hardy and will survive most winters Shallots may be pulled as green onions when their tops are 6 to 8 inches high. For dry bulbs, allow the tops of the plants to die down in July. Harvest and handle in the same manner as dry onions. The dry bulbs may be placed in a mesh bag and stored under cool, dry conditions.
Shallots keep well and are easily stored until planting time in the spring.
