DEAR GARDENING FRIENDS; I TOOK SOMEONE'S ADVICE AND ORDERED RED FRENCH SHALLOTS FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE, FROM PEACEFUL VALLEY FARM AND GARDEN SUPPLY AT groworganic.com. DON'T DO IT UNLESS YOU WANT DINOSAUR SHALLOTS! I AM AMAZED AT WHAT THEY SENT ME. THERE WERE 30 BULBS IN A 3LB ORDER AND NONE COULD BE BROKEN APART. I'VE NEVER SEEN SHALLOT SETS THAT WERE JUST SHORT OF 3" ACROSS BEFORE. THEY ARE VERY FIRM AND SMELL SWEET AND FRESH. I'M GOING TO PUT THEM TO BED IN THE GARDEN ASAP. I'VE GOT TO SAY THAT I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH PRODUCT, SERVICE AND QUALITY. ONEOFEIGHT
