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.


But David, aren't green onions much "sharper" than shallots? Has it made any difference in your cooking/salads?
