I've just ordered 2 bags of shallots from DTBrown ( free P&P for Easter).
A couple of weeks ago I bought 2 bags of onion sets from DTB and they sent 4 bags with a note that "we're getting towards the end of despatches for onion and shallot sets.......and there may be a few rotten sets in the pack so we're enclosing another pack to help compensate!!.
There were NO rotten ones.
I'm hoping that the shallots will also be "compensated" in the same way.
My vague plan is to lift some for use, replant some the following year and leave a few in the ground permanently to, hopefully, multiply..
