Hi All,
Okay, the stalks are dying on my first ruin of shallots. Time to pick them.
Now the first dead stalk I pulled out produced four beautiful shallots (they come in fours and break apart at the root). I washed the dirt off them, and put the to dry on a rack in the garage that I dry my garlic on.
DISASTER !!! After two days, the garage stunk real bad. The shallots had turned alcoholic.
What did I do wrong? And do the same instructions apply when my potato onions are ready too?
Many thanks,
-T
