How long do Shallots take to start showing top growth?

[kippers garden]

I planted my shallots in modules on 26th Feb as the ground at my allotment was so wet.  Two weeks ago i planted them out on my plot (when conditions were alot better).  The shallots all had roots at this stage.

My question is....how long will it be before i see any growth on the top of the shallots (i'm sure when i've grown them before thay have shown growth quicker than this).

My onion sets which i put straight into the soil two weeks ago are nearly all showing top growth

It's hard to be exact, but they are inclined to get their roots well esrablished first before putting up top growth, and with the weather being colder again that might have affected them too despite them being started off in modules. Don't worry, as long as they haven't been pulled up by birds or rotted away in very poor draining soil they will show their heads soon!

Me too, no signs of growth while my garlic and onions are sprouting up nicely. I planted some elephant garlic which also isn't showing.

They should be showing any time now with the long awaited temperature change. It takes a few days for the soil temperature to catch up.
