Cool, how long did it take from planting to get it?

I have two, one with the white flesh and one with red flesh. They have grown a fair bit since planting maybe 1.5 years ago but don't look like they will fruit any time soon

Posted on another thread that I planted French shallots on the weekend, winter solstice. neglected to close the gate to the chicken yard last night and some unearthed a few bulbs, noted that some had already sprouted roots so that is a good sign and put them back in.

Year before last when I first planted them I had mixed results, planted some around now and some in September. Both had good and bad results, I am thinking there was a mix of interstate and local shallots so the interstate one would have been sprayed. Ones I planted last year where from previous years harvest and there was consistency

Last years crop of French shallots I didn't get big ones like the year before, this year I began preparing a patch a while back with blended manure and cultivated it regularly. Apparently you should not add manure just before planting.

I made trenches to plant the bulb in and will level out when the shoots come through, hoping will get bigger shallots

Garlic are doing OK, the ones I got from the supermarket turned out best so must have been locally grown. Garlic cloves I got from bunnings where not that flash but most are looking OK

At least 5yrs. The plant we got the fruit off, is more a mother plant that we've taken cuttings from, maybe this caused a delay in fruiting. Also the plant is growing on a Pomelo and not get full sun....
