I harvested my shallots today.
I now have them drying off in my greenhouse because of lack of space
elsewhere.
If you want to pickle your own shallots, don't forget to salt them
well overnight before rinsing well and putting them in malt vinegar

You salt them is you want to, we never have and ours are always nice and
crisp and last well if we let them. Do you know why you salt them?
There was some discussion here a few years back on the same subject and from
memory both sides agreed to differ.
