Earlier in the year I called into a 'Pound Shop' and saw a packet of 5 Allium Christophii for sale.
I had a look and the bulbs looked a bit small for christophii so I was in two minds as to whether to buy them or not, even at a a pound.
In the end I did and planted all five in an eight inch pot to see what would happen and I was pleasantly surprised, as you can see here:
Needless to say these will get some better treatment next year.
Strangely enough I bought some Red Baron onions as well and they seem to be coming along nicely as well.
So are the T&M's Sutton's, DTB's of this world potentially pricing themselves out of the market?.....With results like this it is easy to think that they are!
