Due to a mouse having got in to my PMs (perhaps that explains the occasional disappearance of the Downsizer hamster) I can't actually help either of the people quoted below, but there's no reason that should stop me, is there?

I got some good stuff last year but I can't remember who from. I thought it was Tuckers but they seem to have a deal via the Garlic Farm people on the Isle of Wight. |
I recommended Tuckers to anyone who would listen last year, and it would appear from what the mouse has left, that you were one of the lucky recipients of the oracle's wisdom. You said "their shallots look interesting" too, if that helps get the cogs whirring.

Hopefully, one of them will remember what it was! |
Ah, yes. That was what I was seeking but I can't work out which it was, it was definitely from Tuckers, and would have been one of Early Wight, Purple Wight, Mediterranean Wight, or Solent Wight.
I was going to buy from them again but as the trunked one says they appear to have cut down a lot - on their site at least - they had six or seven varieties by the bulb last year.
I'm looking at the Dobies selection pack at the moment, and will definitely do onions and saved Griselle shallots overwinter again, plus hopefully banana shallots to sow in the winter. |
