Title: Shallots
Post by: powerspade on February 12, 2008, 22:14:20
I went out to buy Shallots today, None wilkos in blackwood, merthyr. pontypridd, none in B&Q`s and none in the local garden shops. Just been told in a local Garden shop in pontlottyn that there has been a crop failure due to last years bad weather. Any one else having problems

Wilkos & B&Q up this way all sold out but I have managed to get some at last but not the amount I needed, I only have 2 kilos a friend gave me them this morning. I was really looking for 15kilos as I used a lot of them in cooking
