How to choose

[phamty]

After thinking for a period of time, I decided to plant shallots. Are there any good potted recommendations?

This is my Viking blood talking.

I prefer leeks to shallots. We Vikings consider shallots to be the leek of the weak. What made our conquering of so much land so easy was that we ate leeks while those we conquered ate only shallots.

That being said, I like a combination of mediums. Sand from the central, east coast of Norway, and volcanic ash sifted from tons of melting glacial ice from Iceland. It gets processed at a glacial ice melting plant in the Faro Islands. You can't buy it, of course, and can't find much information on it online. It has to be picked up in person and smuggled into Canada before the US. If you don't happen to be a Viking, you're out of luck anyway. If you have lost your family's Leek soil recipe, you're one suck Viking.

Keep us updated with pictures, whatever your choice.

So if I find a leek soil recipe on the dark web is it a leek soil recipe leak?

Well the French DNA in me say shallots have more recipes than leeks But the Canadian blood in me will accede with you... Well maybe lolll

Aren't leeks kind of like giant green onions? Shallots are more like small red onions crossed with garlic, for shape not flavor.

Waiiiit a minute. There is a garlic Kush strain. I'm beginning to think 'shallot' might be a new strain of weed? Maybe code for something? If we start seeing ads for shallots, remember you heard it here first!
