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?

Green onions might be more sharp than shallots. However, my wife and I

prefer highly seasoned foods. For example, where a recipe might call

for 2 cloves of garlic we use 3-4.
