shallot query

[rhonsal]

Ok gardening gurus - I need help (some would say in more ways than I care to admit)!

This is my first attempt at growing shallots- they have been doing ok but got hammered by wind and rain few weeks back, leaving the leaves pretty flat on the ground. I had hoped that if the weather improved they might perk up.

Weather has been cold and not to sunny so leaves have remained flat - as the forecasts for next few weeks is for more wind and rain should I just lift them now and put then somewhere covered to dry or leave them a few more weeks and hope for the best?

Thanks

It is hard to judge the size of the bulbs but the leaf still looks pretty green to me. Mine always collapse but I lift when the foliage starts to die back

Thanks GL - a few of the leaves are starting to yellow and the bulbs are slightly smaller than you get in shops.

I'll leave them a few more weeks until more of the foliage dies back.
