Mine arrived from Dobies today, and they are very good quality I feel. Last year I bought from Marshalls and they came in a padded envelope and looked as though they had been trodden on and squished. Marshalls did send me new, but a lot of those were wet and mouldy! These from Dobies came in a box, all firm, no sign of mould and all perfect - no damaged ones at all! Very pleased indeedy. All things being equal, my garlics and hunions will be planted on Monday. ;D

Still not to late. PUt in my garlic on Tuesday and it has already sprouted along with the red onions. My white onions have been slower. They were put in a couple of weeks ago and just showing!

I've had a look at your web page Wardy - very professional, and your house looks very smart and would be just the sort of b&b we would go for with full english on offer (if only we were ever needing to go to Chesterfield - where is it anyway?! :))

I did a course with an Indian lady - she spoke with a Geordie/Indian accent, which was fairly entertaining, and I had to laugh when out of her sandwich box came her cheese roll, followed by a couple of small whole red chillies, which she just ate with her sandwiches like they were crisps!

Its official my japanese onions went in on 27/10/05

Planted 100 Senshyu Yellow Improved
Planted 50 Overwinter Red 'Electric'

All onions where planted in the same place as the summer onions. No manure was added because it was added this summer for the summer onions. Only thing added to the soil was Growmore. I will be adding blood fish and bone in the spring to give them a good boost.

I will keep you all posted.
