garlic or shallot?

Ok, maybe I should keep records of what I plant, I'm really trying hard this year.

Do you think these are garlic or shallots? I bought red shallot sets last year, but I also buy things at the grocery store & know I bought & planted some red garlic. These are growing in clumps, taste very mild. Foilage is flat like garlic, but I don't know what foilage on shallot looks like. garlic or shallot? 01510

G'day Dixie,

I'm just planting my garlic and shallots now.
Garlic has flat leaves and Shallots have tubular leaves like oinion but are shorter and thinner.

I hope this helps.

Cheers Peter.
