This is just a quick little post, because we had a quick little harvest. But, if you’re curious about garlic harvesting and what to do with the bulbs once you get them out of the ground, this should be of interest. Plus, they’re so pretty in the sun!

Where would you recommend getting shallot bulbs in Seattle to start a crop this fall?
Shallots are great and so easy to grow. We got ours at Sky Nursery, which offers a good selection.
Thanks.
