AYE AYE, that's Shallot


A comparison between Red Sun shallots purchased from Wilko and Suttons seeds

The sets on the left are from Wilko, those on the right are from Suttons.
Both sets were ordered online.


Labelling information

…………...…………...Wilko ......................................................................Sutton

Weight when packed 500g......................................................................400g
Size......................7/14mm.................................................................7/15mm
Price...……………………. £2.00 ……………………………………………………………………………………...£4.99
Origin...……………….Netherlands ………………………………………………………………………….Netherlands

The Wilko pack contained 20 shallots varying in size from small to medium large.
The Suttons pack contained 24 which were all of similar size, being more evenly matched but not impressive.

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

Good old Wilko's, great prices & good quality. I find the germination rate for their seeds is good too as well and their sundry items which last as long as some of the more expensive stuff! It doesn't hurt near so much when cheaper trays & pots crack!

Yes. Part of a larger Wilko order for mixed items and part of a large seed order with Suttons.

We particularly wanted Red Sun due to success in past and their taste
