Incidentally, there’s an article about me and the allotment due out in the Sunday Telegraph on the 19 th July. They do have a habit of changing the dates if a big story comes up but that’s the plan at the moment.
Thanks for reading,

Hi, I’m Bob was surfing the internet and came across your site. I have popped into the trading shed at Newnham a few times this year. In fact I bought my shallot sets from you – yellow moon and pikant.
My question is:
How do I know when they are ready? Wait for them to die down like onions?
Never grown them before. They’ve all clumped up well.
Thanks Bob
