Seed Keepers

[Anders Skarlind <Anders.Skalman@telia.com>]

No tissue culture. We regrow with natural traditional methods that 
these plants are adapted to, i e from bulbils, cloves or offsets.
They are mainly garlics and potato onions/shallots (which I know no 
real good way to tell apart so I regard them as a continuum). Also 
some Egyptian onions and Allium scorodoprasum. The latter s b 
translated sandleek, but I have what is said to be sandleek and that 
one is different. I assume they are both A scorodoprasum though.

Longevity? They must be regrown each year. But some can be allowed to 
sit in the same place for a couple of years.
