Blueberries, Shallots and Potatoes

Our first crop is being planted. Year 8 and 9 female students got their hands dirty and planted up our first crops.

Yellow Moon Shallots

This golden-skinned shallot gives a heavy crop of high quality, healthy bulbs whether planted in spring or autumn. Flavour and texture are both excellent. This variety is really special and give great results when planted in the spring.
