Shallot's starting to bolt!

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Now I have grown "Shallot's" before! But "Autumn" last year, after most of the building n infrastructure put in play on the relatively new "Lottie" I made a firm decision to "nuture" the soil for what crops were going where!

All in all! Sorted! really "Chuffed" with the way it as presided!

But the shallots have now started to run to seed!



Do I nip em out? Can ya use em as "Scapes" like garlic? Or do I just let em run, fall over n harvest?

Cheers for any guidance!

Nip the seed heads off asap.

Cheers "Wendy" for any particular reason?

Some of mine are bolting too so I'm pulling the individual bolted shallot from the clump and using it in cooking. Hoping the rest of the clump will grow on normally.

Just pick seed heads off,use those first as they don't keep,mine have done the same
