Bought a bag of 25 of these lovely shallots to grow from Marshalls, planted
them some weeks ago with the other shallots. Whilst the others have grown
well the Jermors have no sign of growth, dug a few up and whilst some have
a tiny bit of root growth they have no sign of sprouting. They are
obviously heat treated shallots so they cannot sprout and are only good for
the kitchen. Rather bad of Marshalls, what is worse is that they have
failed to respond to my email. I'm beginning to think it's me!


After sending two emails without a response I telephoned today and spoke to
someone who said their shallots are not heat treated despite the fact these
certainly have been (I've seen it before). They have refunded me the price.
Means I won't have as many shallots to pickle/cook but at least I'm not out
of pocket.
