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.

Wow - good deal from Wilko.

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!

Pa snip. Plus P&P ??
