The large shallots are certainly taking there time this year to dry. Even tho they are under cover all the wet damp mornings and rain have slowed the drying process down, still there is lots of time before my first show and they will be ready and fully dry.

Most of the largest shallots went out of shape which is to be expected. When pulled them I had at least 90 perfect round large shallots, but this soon becomes 20 or so decent ones.

The shallots that are 5 inches around are looking pretty good. The necks will soon shrink down and I will show you later how to tie them the correct way to ensure they are only a few millimeters thick.
