The easy way to grow the earliest onion and shallot crops!
SAVE £1.00 on this Twin Pack (200g pack of Onion & 400g pack of Shallot): Onion Radar (picture 1) - A very popular over-wintered onion which gives superb pale to mid brown skinned onions from mid-July. The round bulbs have firm flesh with a delicious mild taste and will keep well until autumn. Green bulbs can be pulled from the garden from late May; Shallot Griselle (picture 2) - In its native France Griselle has a reputation as being the finest tasting of all and we're sure that its robust spicy taste will not disappoint. The variety is best planted in the autumn (from October to mid December) and multiplies well to give a good crop of long, grey-skinned bulbs in June, a week or so before spring planted kinds. These can be used green straight from the garden or dried for storage. The strong skins and solid flesh help the bulbs to keep in good condition well into winter.
