- Hello! The shallots this year were grown in a much smaller area of the garden than usual, but the harvest was generous enough for some lovely shallot braids/plaits. Today I'm going to see how good of a teacher I am, as I follow my OWN video from three years ago to braid my homegrown shallots. These are french grey shallots, an heirloom variety with great flavor.
Here's a link to my original garlic braiding video: • How to Braid Garlic | ...

One tip that is helpful is instead of pulling them up, use a spade or fork to lift them. This avoids any damage to the skin.
I am growing shallots for the first time this year. I just found your channel today. Planting them in the fall is new to me, thankyou
Hi and welcome! I'm so happy you are growing shallots. Thanks for saying hello!
Just found your channel! 🥰🌱❤️ Your hat is so cute! I have quite a few flopped over alliums, so I probably ought to pull mine as well. 😂 What a nice harvest! Thx for the braiding tutorial as well. Looking forward to more videos like this!
Hello! Thanks for joining me in the garden 😊. Good luck with your alliums!
This was very helpful... Thanks💛
I'm so glad!
Hi! What variety of shallot is that? Thanks
Hi! They are french grey shallots.
So do you just cut them off from the bottom to use them? Will the braid then unravel?
Love your channel, now I am on the hunt for some shallots to plant in my garden this fall! I hope they're not hard to find though. I never really thought they might be hard to grow but I am going to give them a shot this year. Oh, and I will have to check out your garlic braid tutorial for my garlic too!
So glad you're going to give shallots a try! Also, thanks for subscribing and supporting my channel. I appreciate it. Let me know how the garlic braid goes!
Not sure if you're still looking, but I planted red shallots from Keene Garlic last year and they're doing amazing.
Filaree Garlic Farm has Dutch Red Shallots and Yellow Potato Onions at good prices. I ordered both from them and these will be of very good size(3"-4" across). The Potato Onions grow like a shallot as one bulb will make many bulbs.
Where did you get your hat from?
Hi! It's from Hemlock Hat Co. It fits a little snug, so I'm going to see if it stretches out a bit as I wear it. Love the design though!
Nice vid. So after the air dry period are they ready to eat/use?
yes! After the curing portion, they can be used or stored. Actually, they can be used fresh too (like garlic). The curing is to prep them for storage.
I want the small variety to make crispy shallots
YUM!🤩
Sorry, you did name them. Got it. French
I just responded to your other comment and saw this 😋. Lol
Thks for ur video. How can I get some seeds.
I managed 7 seconds, why oh why do people mispronounce Shallots???
