- In today's video we look at how to grow shallots in containers. Shallots are members of the onion family and taste great. Its easy to grow shallots in containers as you will see in this video. You can easily grow shallots from store bought shallots. They grow easily in containers or raised beds. You can even grow shallots from seeds but we will be planting entire shallots in this complete guide video!
The best video on YT for growing shallots at home in containers. I keep coming back to it. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
In Iran shallots grows wild in mountains
I'm growing shallots in a pot for the first time. It's been about 3 weeks and they are looking really good.
I think, like garlic and unlike other onions, you can also usefully do this with shallots sold from the grocery store for eating.
Thank-you for such clear instructions and for showing all the stages along the way! I had such difficulty finding how deep to plant them until your video - so THANK-YOU!
Great video. I really need to set up the watering pump and hoses for containers next year.this was my first year trying shallots and i just harvested lots. Glad i bought them. The flavor is great. Going to cut the leaves and hang them in a mesh bag like my onions and garlic.
Thank you! I love this video!!!
Thanks for sharing your expertise!
I love how your video shows the whole process from preparing the soil to curing the harvest! Planting shallots today in North Carolina and looking forward to a harvest next spring. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Is that a cavalier king charles??
Great comprehensive video. Thanks so much
An excellent video. I now have the confidence to grow shallots in my small backyard garden. I also hope for success with growing cilantro year round, leafy greens and lettuces. Thank you for your helpful guidance to growing food in California.

i have just planted a few.. thanx for the video. though i watched it after planting, did not know when to harvest .. thanx a bunch
very informative. thank you, my little one wanted to grow these after watching Sarah and duck lol
First time growing shallotsThanks very much for info
Great instruction and explanation, very good video!
Very nice and informative video!
Great info! Thank youi for sharing with us newbeens. I will be growing my own shallots.
Just found your video. Great instructions, thank you!
Thank you for the video!
Thanks for video. Inspired me to try shallots and they are still sizing up right now. Just watched again to see when to harvest.
Wow! Well done the Shatllo is good
very informative! thanks
Thank you, sir!
Great video buddy. Always like watching your videos.
Thank you :)
Really informative video, thanks
Good info!
Thank you 👍
you teach very well
Thanks for the video, thinking of planting a few myself, I know my parents will be planting them on their allotment.
I love shallots and as you say the are expensive to buy. I learnt a lot of info from the video and am off to buy some sets tomorrow.
Once again a very thorough video! I did not know how to cure them. I grew a few onions last season, was pleasantly surprised. I grew them from seed, I will have to try shallots this time. And I agree, shallots are very expensive in the stores. And thank you for talking about the southern growing time. I live just outside of Houston and Fall does seem to be a better time to grow them here with the mild winters we have. Thank you again!
Great! Good luck in growing them! Happy Gardening!!
Yes! I am going to grow some shallots.
Love it...
Awesome!
Yes I grow them, they are so much cheaper to grow them yourself :) Excellent video as usual!
Thank you :)
Even though some of the videos you make are of plants I don't use or grow in my garden, they are still entertaining and I watch every one.
I know why! You have never tried them..You do not know what you are missing!
fabulous
So cool
I plan to grow them indoors as it is winter.
It's a interesing channel
Thanks
Nice it a lot and I will try to put it in a bigger bucket so more I can plant more instead of one in one small pots.
Blessings
Hello... I love you videos! So informing and easy to understand. I notice the comments are a couple of years old. Are you still making videos? Also I was wondering about buying okra seeds.
Lydia
Nice 👍
Yay! 3-4 months of growing for a couple of weeks of shallots!
Patience is king~!
great video. I throw radish seeds around shallots. mainly to remind me to water them.
Good idea :)
😮 so many shallots from just 5 bulbs!
I think shallots are great! I grew them last year when I was living in the UK. I hope to try growing them here in the US Midwest next year. Thanks for showing how to grow them in a container - I grew them directly in the earth, but your method would give me more options of where to put them.
Question: I am in zone 8b and planted my shallots in the fall. However, I now realize I planted them too deep as they have green tops only. Can I dig them up and replant so they are not so deep or better to dig around them like an onion so that the shallot sits on top of soil? Is it too late for them to bulb? Thank you in advance
Im from India
We call this as small onion
We have to wait till all the leaves are dired up in the soil
Then the size is much bigger than u have done
well there are a small onion that grows like shallot but is not true shallot. shallots are a different species than onion in same family. no seed
Can you use the smaller bulbs to plant again?
I planted mine in a large pot in early spring. Now the shoots above the soil are in their second stage of growing straight up & green. Will the shallots actually start to push up through the soil so I’ll know when to harvest them?
could you please tell us what size you using the bucket or pot?
Thanks for the informative video. Can they be planted any time other than February? I intend to try them as soon as I can.
Yes you can plant them in August for a Spring harvest. Good luck!
These are the same kind of onions which we use in samber, the small onions?
I love it! It's August now so I have to wait till Fall for Spring harvest. What about the winter months what do I do? I live in NY
In NY you cant really do much in winter months, add lots of compost to the soil and raised beds, till the soil well and let it sit till Spring arrives!
Thank you for replying!
Have you got a video on red onions in container grown from bulbs?
Are dried raspberries on the vine good for planting? When is the best time to start germinating seed and what type soil? Thank you always for informative videos
No, i recommend getting a rooted plant!
excellent vid as usual. I wish to plant french beans. Could you tell me what should be the height of the grow bag and how many seeds can i sow in a grow bag? thanks
A standard grow bag with 10 inches height, about 5 gallons of soil will work well for about 2-3 french beans plants!
do we not water when first planting the bulb? how much to water until green leaves form?
Thank you for your wondeerful video on shallots. Are there two different types of shaiiot i am told the one i have seed for will not grow into dividing shallots if replanted as sets pls advise me on your thoughts many thanks noel new zealand
Yes there are different types of shallots. Not sure what your variety is though
Mine grow very well! But it got cut in half by itself but it’s looking good and it’s about 4 days
can you also start red bulb onions in late winter for spring harvest?
Yes probably around beginning of winter or late fall is a good time!
Have grown a lot of shallots all from the same original packet bought in 2014, just save a couple from each batch and re-plant. Sow a bunch in late Autumn for spring harvest, another batch in spring.
I tried to sow some big purple store bought ones but they never sprouted - is there a trick there? Do I need to let them dry out first or something? Maybe those aren't the bunching type.
The sets from the stores - you just plant them as is. Most of the times they are not viable though so seeds are an option
Do you recommend anything for me to plant that will grow before winter?
Does shallot grow in cold season?
Do you have to trim the tops occasionally?
You don't have to but you can trim and use the tops
Can I use NPK(20-20-20) fertilizer for my sponge gourd vines and other vegetables plants?
Yes you can!
and can you make a video on how to grow Carolina cross watermelon ?
Thanks, I will look into growing one!
how is the watering?
can I plant them in a 4 inch high x 9 inch wide pot on my balcony?
Not sure why they need to be in a massive container as you show. Please explain
Same questions here, if they are so shallow rooting, and need frequent watering, why such a deep container?🤔
how many garden soils did you use for the lemon tree🍋
About 6 cubic feet
What about the green parts of the shallots? Are those edible? Chop them up and use them like chives.....?
I hope you can because I've been using the green part practically all my life. I'm waiting for an answer to your question
Yes you can!
No
Najja Foluke if you have, no reason not to carry on & enjoy!
can you cut off some of the green leaves like an onion while their still growing?
Yes you can! They taste very good!
seems you successfully grow anything!
I grew them last year with very little effort.
what is the good time to watering the sallots in a day and how much ferterliser to put to grow the 8 shallots?
Depends on how the weather is. On hot summer days, once a day and on cooler days, around 23 times a week. Fertilizer - about a handful for every sq ft is a good ballpark
Hi,can we cut the leaf for cooking purpose while waiting for the shallot to grow?
Yes. Take them when they are small. Once they get bigger they get a little tough. they are delicious. Mine tend to have a very nice mild onion flavor. I even eat then raw.
A large concrete mixing tub with lots of holes drilled in the bottom works very well for this. It's only about $16 at Home Depot and makes a very inexpensive large raised bed. I would have liked to hear why not to grow them in an area where they had been grown the previous year. Also, roughly the proportions for the various components in the soil mix. Thanks.
There's a risk of infection.
Can you tell how many bulbs in total or how much weight you got from those 8 sets?
I didn't weigh them but it was around 35 bulbs
Can the green tops of shallots be used for cooking like green onions?
Yes!
have you ever used triple 13 fertilizer ? (13-13-13)
Seems to be a good all purpose fertilizer!
How often do you water them?
Depends on how hot it is in your area.
🙂👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can a sprouted shallot be planted with success in zone 9 , June …in the summer?
Yes it can be, better to wait till September though
Can I grow them from the ones I buy from supermarket?
Yes
do u eat the greens of shallots?
Yes you can! I did not eat them for this time but yes they are edible!
Where to purchase shallot seeds not sets
Mine bolted after two months :( Not sure what I did wrong, the weather was great. Maybe they were just old, I'll try getting some better quality ones next time.
Can I harvest the shoot for cooking while the bulbs is growing? Or will it stop producing if I do? 😊
Yes you can keep harvesting the leaves while the bulb is growing!
Might want to leave some shoot and don't cut them down all at once. Take one shoot from each plant for what your intending to use.
Is the tops of the Shallotte’s spring onion?
Yes it can be used as geen or spring onions
Can I use bulbs I just harvested to plant in August for a spring harvest in Washington State? If so, should I cure them first before planting? And should I use the biggest bulbs or does it matter?
Is it true this is no good for keto diet? Because it's grown underground
Are shallot tops edible?
Yes they are!
wait people dont eat the shallot leaves? Where I come from we slice up the leaves and eat them when they're green
When I was a child, I remember my aunt snipping off the top of the bulb before planting. Is that ok?
Same question here.
@@nobody46820 it is okay snipping the top of the bulb. they said that can grow the shoot faster. but don't bury them while the wound still open, since it can cause rot. just push the set/bulb lightly on the surface of soil.
They should store for 12 months if you do it correctly. A few months is very confusing to me. Why do they only store for a few months for people?
Second
My sponge gourd vines are grown about 13-14 feet and haven't produce flowers.why?
They can grow very long before producing flowers, just be patient!
