Just to update, a lot (most) of the shallots are bolting now in early June. I can't blame them, considering the weather has been horrible. Anyway the earliest ones are close to opening their flowers, and they are as far along as the chives in that regard. (We're just now getting leaves on the trees). Since they're going to flower very early, I am hoping that they'll have time to go ahead and make bulbs afterwards. Most of the buds are some shade of purple but a few look like they will have white flowers. Lots of variation in stalk color as well.
