Fresh Red Shallots from Louisiana

Hey Everyone,

Amy Gallagher of bed number 12 has been so kind to share some of her dad's red shallots from Louisiana with us.  They are located in the shed for our gardeners to enjoy!

Each single bulb will grow into a wonderful clump and the flavor of this strain is simply outstanding..........

Red Shallots
I have attached a link from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange that has a very nice planting guide for the allium family of crops.  Shallots can go in much earlier to be enjoyed as red onions for the holidays.

Thanks so much for sharing Amy!

Happy Gardening,
