For zones 3-12, shallots are a staple in your Organic garden and prefer full sun. It's best to start these in starter pots 8 weeks before your last frost in the spring. Use deeply watered soil and place the seeds 1/2" deep in your potting mix. Keep warm (use a germination mat if necessary) and water from below. Transplant the seedlings to the garden when they are 3-4 inches tall and 6 inches apart after your last frost in spring.
You can direct sow these in late spring once your temperatures stay in the 70's. Work your garden soil 6 inches deep and sow seeds 1/2 inch deep and 6 inches apart.
