The shallots I've planted out in "Veggie World" here at Struan Farm are putting on a bit of a show at the moment. They're starting to flower, stretching around and creating these beautiful curved shapes, "curlicues." Do you know this word? It means a decorative curl or twist in the design of an object, but sounds rather old-fashioned to me.
I suspect these curlicues are telling me it's time to harvest, and I need to listen to them. I do.
