My Onion Crop

[Derekthefox]

Just finishing lifting my summer onions, now drying on pallets. I am more than satisfied, 500 onions total, enough to keep us going until the spring anyway. The picture of the largest ones has a reference one given to me by a friend, to show what an onion should look like ! ! ! That is the one with the greenish string. Apologies for the poor picture quality.

Good news anyway lottie, doesnt look like I will be taking any show awards off you in this years onion section!

Who cares what they look like (though they look good to me! :)), isn't it what they taste like that counts?

[TEL]

Thats a marvelous crop well done Derek.

[Anne Robertson]

They look fab, well done Derek. How do you store yours (onions!)? I put mine in carrot sacks or Hessian ones if available but they don't always last till the next lot are harvested.

[Derekthefox]

They will be stored in the detached garage in racking or bags until needed, just bringing a few at a time into the kitchen.

Yes Mothy, we like our onions !

Thanks  Tim, I feel proud if you are envious !  :D

[dibberxxx]

[Mrs Ava]

 :o  Dammmmmmm    :o

[Derekthefox]

Lottie is the one to seek advice on onions apparently, as big as footballs so the rumour goes . . .  Well I am happy with the size of me own onions anyway ;D

[undercarriage plan]

Um, just plant them, and they grew big...No idea why!!! Making me blush here, but thanks, Derek! Still not good enough for shiney cup though..... :'( Lottie  ;)

[dibberxxx]

thanks Derek for the advice but your look ok to me perhaps with advice from you and lottie i might end up with a shinny cup

[Icyberjunkie]

Don't knock it Derek.  Try out my first year attempt for comparison and feel much better  ;)    Not only a very mixed crop but absolutely useless at making ropes....... the one on the left fell in half today although I think the children had something to do with that.......

So you aim for your friends target and I'll aim for your stunning effort  ;D

[redimp]

I will be pleased if mine look like that Icey.  No hope of matching Derek's fine display though.
