Margret, I live here in Northeast Ohio, Zone 5. And I just got my garlic and
shallots in a week or so ago. Middle of October is when, and I too have read
Ron's book. However, I buy my seeds from Bobba-Mike's here in Orville Ohio,
and he recommends that I mulch the shallots heavily for this area. I have
never grown shallots before so I guess we will see next spring. I have read
both things so I wonder... As far as harvesting them, I think they are like
garlic, 40% brown on the tips. I also added chicken poo to the rows as I did
for the garlic. Hope that was ok too!

Margaret, I forgot to also add that I was told to plant them until the tip is
just covered and then mulch them heavily. I also planted them 6" - 8" apart
and the rows were 16" apart.
