Try www.theseedvault.co.za. They sell the Matador Shallot (one of the shallots grown from seeds, not bulbs - so it's cheaper to grow). I have no idea if they can provide enough for you to grow them wholesale, but if not they might be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck!

Rhubarb 26 Dec, Astrid (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
I saw some recently at Colourful Splendour Nursery in the Craighall Park area. It was the “Victoria” variety. Any Garden Shop should also be able to source for you - they get their stock from Doonholm nursery under the brand Healthy Living Herbs.

Jerusalem Artichokes (also Sunchoke) 07 Nov, Linda Swanborough (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Where can I buy them in the Sandton, Fourways area? Thanks
Reply
Jerusalem Artichokes (also Sunchoke) 08 Feb, Astrid (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
Not sure if you have come right yet, but if not... Jerusalem artichokes will probably not be on sale until the end of the season - at the moment they are putting all the energy into the flower and won't be of a quality to sell. You can keep an eye on www.seedsforafrica.co.za and www.theseedvault.co.za, both of these sites usually have tubers available when in season.
