Hi Andy,

Thanks for the update. I’ve just finished preparing some Jermor shallots (hung up in the garage) ready to make a squash soup for dinner – yum…..

Zebrune and Matador go on the future list of ‘to grows’. I grew Figaro from seed this last season but they were planted on ground I had just cleared of perennials by digging. It had not been treated to any organic matter for some time and I think this, in part, resulted in a less than good harvest from the Figaro. I’ll try them again this year under better conditions and see how things go – I have seed left over. I’ve also overwintered some sets from The Garlic Farm and they are looking good so far.

I’m with you and can’t wait to get sowing/ going – 12th February for me, couple of days before full moon next month. Ah, the anticipation :-)
