And what about the not so withered onions?

Shame about the cup, but £9.50 is a lot more useful.

Perhaps a photo of the £9.50 instead . . .

 :( Ho hum lottie, yours for sure next year  :)  Now you know the competition & got over the nerves, there will be no stopping you.  :) You can put your whole £9.50 into some stunning seeds for next year & if you get your tunnel going who knows what you could be growing.  ;D Well done for entering, it's the spirit that counts.  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks, Marley!! The two old boys that win every year, are taking me under their wing and showing me the tricks of the trade, so I'm really lucky.  Didn't know there was a book about it!! All quite complicated, but worth it for that big, shiney cup!!  Lottie   ;D

They're really sweet, apparently they're fed up with winning all the time (?) and want a bit of competition!! They'll have their work cut out for them!!! I'm easily distracted......  Lottie  ;D ;D ;)
