Hello. I'm an increasingly keen veg (and some fruit) gardener, and, having had a rush of blood to the head, am considering entering a few classes in the village flower & produce show at the end of July. I really do live in The Archers!
One of the classes I'm considering entering is shallots, as mine have done well. That's particularly satisfying as it's the first time I've ever grown them. I'm not sure how they should be presented, and there are no instructions on the entry form. Should I trim the roots and foliage and present them as you see them in the supermarkets, or should they be in all their leafy, rooty glory? Kept in a clump, or separated? Plaited even?
I'd be very grateful for any advice. Thank you
