Plant Shallots
Shallots planted now will establish roots this fall, go dormant through winter, then take off in early spring. They grow best in a raised bed with rich soil. Work in lots of composted manure. Plant the sets 6 inches apart, leaving the tops exposed. After a couple of hard freezes, cover the bed with a thick layer of straw or chopped leaves for protection during the dormant period.
