For the last several years, I’ve been planting my garlic cloves and onion sets in the Fall. This is the first year that I am trying shallots. In Pittsburgh, it is close to impossible to find shallots and different types of onions in the Fall. Last year I only found yellow onion sets. As a result, I did an internet search.  I was trying to get the biggest bang for my buck so I could buy shallot bulbs and red, white and yellow onion sets all from the same place with one shipping charge.
Here is one option – Spring Hill Nursery.  I found out later that Michigan Bulb Co. has the same options. While they only had one type of shallot called red sun shallots, they did have all three onions that I wanted. You can always grow them from seeds but that is a another topic.
For each type of onion, you can get 60 sets for $6.99 and shallots are 10 for $6.99. You get less shallot bulbs for $6.99 because they are gourmet and they multiply! You will see what I mean when I harvest them next summer.
Another website that I just found out about is Dixondale Farms. They have a lot of choices for onions for some Spring planting.
We will be chatting about planting the bulbs soon!
