Q: Storing and replanting shallots
Thursday, August 27th, 2009I am in my 4th year of a new garden in NW Connecticut. On returning from vacation I dug my shallot/garlic bed, (I know it should have been done earlier but it’s been an odd and busy summer).
I had planted twice as much shallot as last year (my first experience growing them), it seems the harvest is tenfold.
The garlic did not do well 
For long term storage should the shallots be dried in the sun like an onion?
Can the undersize bulbs be stored for replanting next spring?
Do the garlic or shallots need to be chilled or otherwise prepared before replanting?
I have enjoyed reading posting on your site since I discovered it and will appreciate any information on these matters.
Thanks,
Bob.
