Banana Shallots

[Bigmallly]

Tangents? Is that another strange fruit BigM?

Yeh, bright orange things that go of at angles.

Mmm, a salad made from tangent segments and banana shallots! See how I brought that back on topic?

[Bigmallly]

Can you grow tangents or do they just go to seed like B.Shallots...........

Well they can deffo be "generated"

But if they failed would you feel like a lemon?

Not only are we talking about tangents, I haven't a clue what tangent we are talking about.......

It used to be when I was a young ape but it had more chocolate back then than it does these days.

[veggiechicken]

Yes, I agree, They're really mean with the chocolate on biscuits these days, and it doesn't taste like choccy should either - so I think its pseudochoc.

Yes, they look the same but for some reason supermarket bought ones can only be grow for seed. As yet I have no idea why.

There is a group called Tangent with an album called Let it grow so the answer must be YES

and there's me thinking it was blowing in the wind. I'm surprised that there are sets for shallots at T & M. Interesting.

[Florence Fennel]

Don't head this way, its very wet again. If you'd like to PM me with your address I'll put some in the post!

That'll take too bally long - PM it to me, e-mail it, or squish it through the keyboard

Ayup Flo,I seem to think when we planted the said sets we were under the impression that they grew & split,also I am sure that A.N.Other posted that he/she had planted some wilkinsons unknown variety alongside some from a seed supplier & later in the same thread that the former were seemingly dormant & there was a lot of green shoots on the later.
Where did the idea that banana sets were sown purely for seed come from ????
