Today was shallot harvest day for me. Some of these are huge this year! I got about 5 gallons worth. They’re now on drying racks to cure. #gardening #culinarygarden #gardentotable #food

@JonOfLodi drying them helps preserve them. Too much moisture and they will rot. But properly dried and properly stored they will last over a year. Dry them for at least a few weeks but also store them in a cool, dry place with plenty of airflow around them, which is kind of a continuation of the process. I use mesh bags for storage. Don’t store them in plastic bags, sealed containers or the refrigerator.
@deepmud I plant them in raised beds and I pack them in. It took about a 4x6 foot space.
@avertexofmyown Doesn't it taste so much better when it's harvested fresh from your garden?
Looks delicious!

A question for the wine lovers out there: What are your thoughts on Vermouth?
I don't have it often, but I enjoy it from time to time. I'd love to check out some vermuterias in Spain. I recently enjoyed this rosé Vermouth from Uruguay. It's unique, with Tannat as the base wine, and very well made.

@AlexGBardsley For sure it would be. I need to stock up with more Gassmann wine!
#cooking with #leeks from the #garden again. Tonight it’s Berkshire pork chops with creamed leeks. Served with rosemary & garlic scape roasted potatoes and green beans (fresh from the garden). Paired with a 2010 Rolly Gassmann Riesling, which is absolutely amazing!#gardentotable #delicious #wine
@Helengraham thank you. It’s taken many years to get it to this.
One of the wine clubs I subscribe to is Troon Vineyards in Oregon. They included some sunflower seeds from their gardens with one of their shipments this year. I had to plant them and the first flower has emerged! It totally brightens up our garden. Thanks to @craigcamp and the team at Troon. #gardening
