Hmm. I've never started shallots off in pots. They grow so readily that I always put them (carefully so as not to damage the root plate) straight into the ground. I wonder if the transplanting process makes a difference? anyone tried it both ways for a comparison?
Just rushed out (in the rain - the things I do for the Grapevine!) and mine are between 3 and 7 per clump though there's one twinny and a little Billy No-mates!
