Not a lot of shallots

I grew a lot of shallots last year, more than we could reasonably expect to eat.   I picked out the biggest ones for cooking, the smallest ones for replanting this year, and pickled the rest.   I ate the last pickled shallot last week.

This year I didn't do so well.   In fact I think I have less weight of shallots than I started with.   I'll have to buy commercial pickled onions.  Oh, the shame.
