Can anyone tell me why the price of Shallots (for seed) has risen so much over the
last few years? £3.99 for 10 bulbs seems excessive.


It is excessive, Fothergill's list half-a-dozen varieties and none more than
£5 for 500g.

Interesting and a lot cheaper than I've seen at the GCs etc. Sadly no Jermor.


Cheap Jermor readily available

Priced at £3 for 500g.
