Hi Just bought red sun shallot sets from Wilko as they were reduced by 75%. Is it too late to plant them this year? or can they be stored until next? Would appreciate advice

[DD.]

They won't store until next year, and they'll probably make little more than spring onion size this year, but if you've got the space, stick them in.

I speak from experience here, as due to illness it was about this time of year I put mine in last year.

My Dad always uses some of his shallot leaves like spring onions.If you don't get a bulb you can always use the leaves

I plant my spare shallot bulbs in a pot and pull individual bulbs off and use like spring onions.
