I don't know the name of my shallot but might be able to locate the tag. I pulled a couple just recently and they were more pungent than I expected. Chopping them made my eyes watery. I'm letting a few more of them sit there a little longer, hoping they get bigger.

It's my understanding that shallots are smaller and milder in flavor than onions. Maybe you should grow onions instead?
