Varieties of loose sets available:
ONION RED – KARMEN

ONION YELLOW STUTTGARTER -
SHALLOT - YELLOW GOLDEN GOURMET
SHALLOTS - RED SUN
Fill a pot of loose onion sets with however many you need!
Plant sets in rows in any firm, well drained soil in full sun. Prepare the planting area several weeks in advance by incorporating some well rotted garden compost to improve drainage and soil fertility. Avoid planting shallots on freshly manured soil. On particularly wet ground, try growing sets in raised beds. When growing onions from sets, plant the bulbs so that the tip of bulb is just protruding through the
soil surface. Leave a space of 10cm between each bulb,
and 30cm (12") between each row.
We’re here to help with seed and planting advise, why not pop in and ask.
We are open seven days a week 10am - 4pm.

Surprise! Spinach!
It amuses me how you can put so much effort into getting one plant to grow. And failing while doing so.
And yet…
You can do absolutely nothing at all and get quite happy volunteers growing all over the place. This is how we ended up with a whole section of perpetual spinach.
Weeds love the rain and smothered under them was this large leafy plant.
There was a hearty crop growing and after…

Final horticultural post showing soon to harvest goodness, our allotment:
I think allotments might be an almost uniquely British thing where residents can apply for parcels of land for non-commercial agriculture. We’ve had this for about 5 years and share the work and produce with some friends.
It’s hard work, but there is nothing quite like the taste of sweetcorn that was on the plant twenty minutes before it went in one’s mouth.

And so we begin to eat what we grow 🍓🥬
What a month June was! It started off with us being inundated with strawberries. We have made some jam, froze some, made loads of smoothies – and of course ate them fresh 😋
And we finally grew some greens! The cold wet spring meant that the slugs went after most of what we sowed. I didn’t have any lettuce survive but we had 3 spinach plants and a good amount of mustard make it.
At the end of…

i woke up obscenely early today because the sun rose before four in the morning, so i ended up at my allotment around five and finally met the mythical person with the allotment next to mine who grows exclusively raspberries (60 m² of raspberries). she's this lovely woman in her fifties who simply loves raspberries and told me about her favourite variety out of the dozen she has right now (purple glen coe).
early morning raspberry mythical raspberry woman is real.
Raspberry cryptoid woman interaction achieved! It sounds like a magical morning with a solved mystery, I'm so glad she's lovely and that you had a good time.
