Things you learn from google, Zebrune is also known as Cuisse de Poulet du Poitou which is Chicken Thigh from Poitou

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 itSmile

Time you had a brush in your hands if you are boredBig Grin
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 Confused

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? Rolleyes

I wonder what denotes a shallot as opposed to an onion. Here are some red shallot seeds that look remarkably like the red onions I grow.

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.......
