Autumn planting onion sets, shallots, garlic and flowering bulbs are now in stock and are available every Sunday until the end of the growing season (November).
We have the following varieties available:
Onion Sets (£0.70 per 200g)
Senshyu Yellow (limited availability)
Senshyu onions are a large round onion with a white flesh inside with a mild flavour that would go nicely in a salad.
Red Winter
Red Winter is a good quality large onion that can taste quite sweet. Red onion sets are prone to bolting but this particular variety has excellent resistance to bolting and pests and diseases.
Shallots (£2.10 per 250g)
Jermor
Jermor has a shiny brown skin with a pinkish flesh. This is a good sweet variety to try.
Garlic
Elephant garlic (£0.70 per clove)
Elephant garlic is not a true garlic, but produces stems like leeks and the large bulbs have a mild garlic taste that is ideal for roasting.
Flowering bulbs
Why not plant some flowering bulbs in your garden and allotment for some spring colour?
Mixed daffodils – £0.90 per 500g
Mixed Garden Tulips – 10 bulbs for £2.00
Hope to see you at the shop on Sunday. Remember to keep a social distance, especially if there are more than six people at the shop.
