Let me know how shallots work for you. I had some starter bulbs a few years ago, but I never had any luck with them. I would seriously LOVE to grow my own shallots. I cook with them frequently. Scrambled eggs with shallots, fresh tarragon, mushrooms, and shredded gruyere are amazing. One of my favorite combos.
Remind me in the fall.
I bought both shallot sets and seeds and am going to try both ways to see which works best.
