- Very versatile in the kitchen
Shallot ‘Yellow Moon’ can be planted in either autumn or spring, producing heavy crops of golden-skinned shallots with superb flavour and texture. This variety has excellent resistance to both disease and bolting, and the bulbs store well too. A great addition to the veg plot and to the kitchen!
How you will receive your plants:
Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your shallot sets in a breathable net bag. This keeps them together in a pack that is nice and airy – perfect to keep them healthy while in transit.
Can’t plant straight away?
Keep your shallot sets in a cool, dark, and dry place and preferably hanging on a hook so that air can get to the bulbs at all angles. Ideally, you should aim to plant them within a week of receiving them, but if this is not possible, store them in a cool, dark place until you are ready to plant them.
Planting tips and hints:
A couple of weeks before planting, dig over the soil with a shovel to clear weeds. Rake in a general purpose fertiliser.
To plant your sets, push the sets into the soil with the pointed end upwards. Leave 15-20cm between sets. Cover the area with horticultural fleece to protect the young plants from birds.
Water regularly in dry periods, and weed regularly. Stop watering once the leaves start to yellow.
Harvest bulbs once the leaves have turned yellow and flopped over. Use a fork to carefully lift the bulbs.
