Shallot Griselle 400g Pack £5.75
A robust spicy taste that will not disappoint! Best planted in the autumn, it multiplies well to give a good crop of long grey-skinned bulbs in June, a week or so before spring planted kinds. Use straight from the garden or dried. Strong skins and solid flesh ensure bulbs keep in good condition well into winter. Choose a well-drained sunny position where the soil is reasonably good. Plant by setting the shallot bulbs 15cm (6″) apart in rows 30cm (12″)apart from mid September to early November so that only the tips of the small bulbs show above the soil surface. 400g of shallots (approximately 15-20 bulbs – size varies) will plant a row of about 3m (10′). Full growing instructions included.

Garlic Illico (hardneck type) 2 Bulbs £3.95
A superb, very early-maturing hardneck garlic, producing a good crop of tasty bulbs that are mainly white with some pale purple colouring. 2 bulbs (9-10 cloves per bulb).Virus-free French variety – These bulbs come from certified virus-free stock, ensuring that they’ll grow into healthier plants and produce larger harvests! Has the added bonus that they’re particularly suitable for harvesting in May as ‘green garlic’ – a delicious, sweet, mildly garlic-flavoured vegetable that is popular in the restaurant trade.’Hardneck’ garlic variety – Our ‘hardneck’ (Rocambole) varieties are closest to wild garlic and naturally form a seed stalk or scape which curls into a characteristic loop. They are very hardy, so will thrive throughout the UK, and are ideal for more northern areas. They have a particularly fine flavour. The sections or cloves of each bulb should be separated and planted just below the soil surface early October-late December. Space rows 15-20cm (6-8″) apart and allow 10cm (4″) between cloves. Lift and dry the plants, as with onions, once the foliage turns yellow in July. Full growing instructions included. An essential kitchen ingredient! Garlic has become an essential part of many kitchen gardens as our food tastes have changed and its health benefits have become more widely known (it lowers blood pressure, fat and cholesterol levels and combats bacterial, fungal and viral infections). It’s easy to grow, needing much the same care as onions and shallots and given just an average summer, a good crop can be achieved in most of the country.’Green Garlic’ in May – Why not pull a few plants in May (before the cloves have begun to mature) and experience delicious ‘green garlic’? Use as you would spring onions, to add a delicate garlicky flavour to dishes.
