All of the people who requested seeds, they should be with you early next week as they were posted first class today.
The envelopes contain a good measure of seed and will have enough for you to either plant them all, save some for next year or give some away.
If you all save a few shallots (should the seed actually grow) and plant them in March or April 2008 you will hopefully have your own seed to harvest come that August ready for the following year.
The aim is to get our own UK strain of open pollinated banana shallots up and running and as seed has gone to all areas of the country we should have some success in this.
Please use this thread to post updates on how you are getting on.
If anybody else wants to join in please PM me with your address details, dont worry about postage or seed swaps, and I will send you some seed as there is still a bit left.
