How are you doing the shallots? Don't they need a ton of time for the bed to develop like garlic or are they more like onions where you can plant and harvest?

Not really sure, just planted a crapload of the bottoms of shallots we had cut up. Just noticed them starting to sprout up today. Our gardening philosophy is throw a bunch of crap in the ground and if it grows, eat it. It's worked well enough with leek and scallion bottoms, I had a bunch of shallots the other day and figured what the hell, I'll give them a try.

LOL! You're like a squirrel. You munch off the goody tops then bury the bottoms.

mmmm, bulbs...mmmm.

Garden and flowerbeds are under 3 feet of snow right now, but I have a 400 sqft greenhouse full of plants, 1/2 acre garden/orchard, couple acres of landscaped yard areas, and eight acres or so of managed multiuse forest. Putting my degree in botany to good use. :beer:

Habanero usually, but I'm thinking of adding more pepper variety. Maybe some tomatoes too.
