Seasprout, you should stop squeezing now! Mintys gone a funny colour!!!

Surely we'd all have got a 'whoops not available' email at some point if the spuds weren't coming? When I got my freebie ranunculous it clearly specified 'Vales Emerald: cost £0.00' on the form and no-one had biroed in 'haha, you're getting these instead'!

Your lucky.. I dint qualify for Ranunculus, I ordered too late.

I've just ordered Shallots from Suttons now.

Ooooh we need some shallots - we grew French Delvad last year, very good. Also pigletwillies banana shallot, but not too many of them grew.

I've just ordered Shallots from them as well now.

Never ever grown shallots before...apparently they are easy peasie.

[smallblueplanet]

seasprout you're talking to yourself!? but yeah shallots are pretty easy to grow, just got to stop the blackbirds pulling them out thinking the tops are worms.

[seasprout]

I'm hoping to pickle mine. have ordered variety Topper.

(Actually i'm having to shout.. currently enduring emergency electricity works out front... power went off during the washing up, and doing the laundry... had to crawl around in pitch black for 5 mins... groping for torch. power back on, but they are ripping up the street now. )

[smallblueplanet]

Yes we normally pickle the smallest of our crop, very yummy for Christmas.

You on battery power then???

[seasprout]

No power came back on quite quickly, but concerned it could go at any time. Torch next to me.

Hi everyone, Happy new year to you all. I'm new to fruit & veg growing, only started last year. Enjoy reading what you all have to say, picking up lots of tips.
Can anyone tell me, is soot good for the garden?

[Newbie]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the garlic i ordered at the same time as my free spuds for 95p postage came this morning with a note saying that in order to qualify for the free spuds you have to order 6kg or more. nevermind - was worth a try.

[seasprout]

Ho.... Crap.
