‘Golden Gourmet’ is a very high yielding, Dutch variety that can be harvested as early as July . It has a golden brown skin, stores well and has better resistance to bolting than many other varieties.
Garden care: Plant this yellow shallot from December to April, 3cm deep and 12cm apart.
Planting
Cultivate shallots by arranging them in rows within any well-drained and firm soil, basking in the warmth of full sun. Enhance the planting area weeks ahead by blending in well-rotted garden compost to elevate both drainage and soil fertility. It’s advisable to avoid planting shallots in freshly manured soil. In areas prone to excessive moisture, consider cultivating shallots in raised beds for optimal results.
When using sets to grow shallots, ensure the bulb tips protrude just above the soil surface during planting. Maintain a spacing of 18cm (7″) between individual bulbs and 30cm (12″) between rows, fostering a conducive environment for healthy shallot development. Follow these guidelines for a successful shallot harvest in your garden.

I have just bought all my new seeds for next year’s vegetables after having such great results this year. Budget seeds are so helpful, I’m a newbie in the veg growing world and they have been helpful in choosing the best seeds to start with etc. also much cheaper than elsewhere so if I do mess up in the future it isn’t costing me so much. I thoroughly recommend Budget Seeds for all your veg and flower seeds.
