Shallots with flowers

[Gman]

Hey folks. Need advice on shallots.

I planted some shallot sets last year. Evidently missed some when I was harvesting and they have come up again this year. I didn’t think it was a problem but now several appear to be growing scapes.

Is it worth continuing with these, or am I best to dig them up and put something else in there? And are the scapes good to eat like garlic scapes?

You can certainly eat the flower stalks if you want to, whether you like them would be a matter of taste I guess.

My general approach to stuff like this is to plants around the growing things i.e. stick in some cabbage plants in the blank spaces. No one would accuse me of being tidy though :-)
