In September 2004 I bought some Normandy grown banana shallots whilst on holliday in Francais.

They were planted in March this year on my allotment with the aim of harvesting a crop of seed. This was very sucessful indeed with lots of seed being harvested. I have distributed most of the seed and have just sown mine but still have some spare.

If anybody would like a pinch then Pm me your address. There isnt much left so it is on a first come first served basis.

Bear in mind that a farmer was in the gardening press selling it at £5 for 20 seeds this year.

Feel sure these have all gone, but if you have any seed left, I'd love to try them?
Yours hopefully!

Oooh ooh ohh the postman has just been and guess what he brought - yes a load of bills but we'll ignore those., AND some seeds

Thanks Pigletwillie.

It's quite handy being off work sick - I can get off my sick bed go outside and organise the bits I need for the seeds. Another example of how good gardening is for you, it gives the incentive to get off your bum and do something. Looking at the hoover I never get the same motivation for some reason.

As I don't currently have an allotment, I'm going to give half the seed to my dad, who does have one and is going to try a row, the remainder I'll sow in the vague hope that I'll be offered a lottie in the very near future, if not I'll have to cordon part of the garden off against the chickens and grow them there.

Plan B (just thought of this one). I'll plant a row in the front garden border - no chickens there

Thanks again

Thank you Pigletwillie! Just got back from a trip to Sweden and your seeds were waiting patiently for me when I got home. Will keep you posted on how the growing goes and if all goes well I'll have some fresh seeds to share with everybody here in a couple of years time.

Seeds arrived this morning, thanks Pigletwillie. Will let you know how they get on in sunny (ok, more like blowing a gale) Oxfordshire!
Cheers
