I love shallots. They are the perfect mix of sweet onion flavor and garlicy tang.
Fortunately, they are also very easy to grow! All they need is some good dirt, a little bit of rain to start them off, and occasional weeding. So we grew shallots! I was amazed at how fast and easily they grew, and the amount of shallots we got in our final harvest.
As only part of our farm has drip irrigation, and none of our partner farmers in the village do, it was very beneficial to grow a crop that produced a financial yield, yet did not require everyone to haul water for wattering.
I see more shallots in our future!
