Default shallots from seed?

Hi All,

Do you grow shallots from seeds? Or do
you plant bulbs/cloves?

When do you plant?

Many thanks,

I grew them from shallot bulbs I bought at the grocery store. However,
I found that the white part of a green onion (scallion) serves as an
excellent substitute in cooking; so I no longer grow them.
