A true onion that's called a shallot
Things you learn from google, Zebrune is also known as Cuisse de Poulet du Poitou which is Chicken Thigh from Poitou
Poitou also do donkeys btw, can you tell I'm bored yet
Thought I would post a photo of the seeds that I sowed on 13th. December [

not sure of the name as I used a pencil on a wooden label and the moisture has obliterated it, so will have to go into the hut for the packet,the bottom section of the tray has pansies in it, had the space so no use wasting it

Time you had a brush in your hands if you are bored
Any time my children said that they were bored,i held them a brush and told them to brush up the back garden area, strangely, after having done it a couple of times boredom was never a problem for them

I could understand them being called a chicken LEG because they do resemble a chicken drumstick (slightly) while growing but no idea why a chicken thigh?
I have a mind to get some zebrune seeds, just to experiment.
I can highly recommend them, they grow well, taste great and store well too.

I knew it was fatal to look at seed suppliers. Ordered zebrune seeds, then thought 'better take advantage of the p&p charge, see if I want anything else' two or three items later.......
