Bower, I think I have Hardy Evergreen seeds sown in a tub in my greenhouse, I will go and take a look later. I wasn't expecting them to germinate as they were a couple of years old but they have,

It seems to me that many of the green onions seem to carry over bit I wonder if it is just for the second year as they are a biennial plant.


I find the shallot/potato onions thing annoying. Buying the right shallots is fine I can get them from Richters in the fall, but it is the newer ones that folks are fobbing off as potato onions. I also get cross at the seeds offered for shallots, like Ambition, as far as I am concerned they are not true shallots ...To me Dutch shallots are just another kind of onion. I know I know someone is going to argue with me but they bear no resemblance to what a shallot is and they do not multiply the next year.
