This is my first year with shallots, I planted Red Sun and Golden Gourmet.  The Red Sun have done really well and 1/3 were ready to harvest yesterday.  The Golden Gourmet are not doing very well and the bulbs are quiet green, is this normal?  I keep expecting them to change colour.

the bulbs are quiet green

Is that as opposed to a really vibrant loud green, then?

(Sorry Ann, couldn't resist.  :? Don't grow shallots so can't be helpful I'm afraid)

That will teach me to stick to one glass of wine with lunch :oops:

When did you plant them?

I always go by the foliage ( when it turns brown and dies back its time to lift). If its green and healthy its still producing weight for the shallots.

Shouldn't the shallots be turning brown though instead of staying green in colour?
