Forgot to mention, but was reminded by just doing this -- to help increase the size of shallot bulbs, pop the flower stalks off when these appear; just like you would garlic scapes.

Unlike the garlic scapes, I don't try to sell these; they're not as pretty as they have no curl in them, flavor is in my opinion not as good, and I usually have as many scapes from the garlic as I can sell anyway.
