Flowerheads on shallots
Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 12:30 pm
We planted out some shallots last autumn and they have overwintered well, and are growing into big fat shallots. However, while they still aren't ready for lifting yet, they have started forming a flowerhead. Should we nip this off? Or not? Or can it be eaten (I remember seeing something somewhere that garlic heads can be eaten)? Any help gratefully received. Thanks.
