Fancy shallots are one of the things I definitely want to grow, but I can't do it this autumn, no time and probably won't be here to harvest them.

You are doing a public service, glad you found your experimental mojo again.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-56281902225163352022011-11-18T08:28:32.662+00:002011-11-18T08:28:32.662+00:00Helen - there's garlic and red onions on the p...Helen - there's garlic and red onions on the plot as well :)<br /><br />CS - welcome!
