Onions & Shallots
Add zesty flavor to your recipes when you grow onions, garlic and shallots in your home garden. These members of the allium family are rarely bothered by pests and are easy to grow. Like other vegetables, they perform best when they receive at least six or more hours of direct sunlight daily and are planted in rich, well-drained soil. When growing onions in the home garden, you can start with onion sets, seeds or onion plants. Onion sets are the most popular because they are very easy to grow. Onion varieties include sweet varieties that are tops for fresh eating as well as storage onions. Shallots are treasured for their mild flavor, and garlic is a favorite for seasoning.
