Welcome to the Vine!

I was lucky enough to find a couple of packs of Banana Shallots seeds at the local garden centre's 50p a pack scramble. I'm hoping I have better luck with them than I did with the sets I tried this year!

A few people I know grow Kabocha very successfully but I think that's from saved seeds - I've not managed to find the seeds with a quick google. (Kabocha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

I'm looking forward to growing daikon/mooli this year after finding out that a very tasty Dim Sum dish I've had called 'Turnip Cubes' is probably mooli!

I think quite a few people on here are trying various things from James Wong's selection of seeds too:

I nearly bought a packet of shallots to eat, but they are £3 a kilo !!! (onions about 70p a kg)

That's why I'm trying growing shallots before onions!
