Your shallots may be ready - difficult to say without looking at them. Planted in the spring, Snoop – basically when the foliage goes over and the brown skin develops, onions are ready to harvest.

Are these onions you planted in the spring? I don't think mine are ready yet, but I always find it hard to judge. Some of my shallots have tipped over at the base in the wind but the leaves are still green. I've never grown shallots before and don't really have much idea how large they will grow. I've seen shallots in the shops but these are Banana shallots grown from seed so look very different. John,
