Seem to recall someone asking for the above, in Nov's issue [page 75] of KG, T&M are doing a strong onion "Rosanna". Many years ago I recall a firm in Norfolk boasting that their seed was used by the Royal Navy in Nelsons time to keep scurvy at bay, guaranteed to blow your head off, in all probability now banned by our masters in Europe.

Dear Shallot Man, we have been lucky in Milton Bryan, as we have not had scurvy for a few years now.

Maybe it could be the Bedfordshire Champions that have helped. :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

There's no fool like an old fool.
