I got given a bagfull of lovely shallots grown by my NE Vic-based FIL and
thought they tasted wonderful compared with the bog standard brown onions.
I nearly fainted at the price of them in the supermarket though.
How easy are they to grow?
When is planting time?
I am in Melbourne.


save some of the shallots and plant them next month. They grow and form
cloves like garlic.

Oh. I do have some of the little ones left. Will they do?
