[grotbag]

Hi all,this is my 1st attempt at stringing onions

I can never do it like that. I just tie 7-8 in a bundle 'cos I just aint got a clue how to do it like that. When you take one off does the rest all fall apart?

Who's a clever boy then?!! I'm afraid I copped out this year and slung them all in an onion sack. Nowhere near as pretty but I really couldn't be ar***d. :-[ :-[ :P

When I dig up the dozen I have left in the ground I may get to say "o'voila"

The first pic isn't right! The onion will fall out.
It's just a bad drawing I suppose.
Do the string loop using about 30" of string. Take up the first onion. Put your forefinger and thumb through the loop from the away side. Grasp the two pieces of string above and you have a double loop. This is where the onion leaf goes in. Pull the loop down on the leaf. That's number one.

Oh pants, I plaited mine in a 3 strant plait, like you do with hair.

Will they all fall out?

Should I take them apart and try again?

They do look mighty pretty hanging in my summer house though !!

HELP !!

Thanks

I'm afraid I'm not into the artistic methods - I just take a 4 x 6' lengths of rope, half hitch 3 onions at a time onto them with cord.... etc. They then hang - or did, when were lucky enough to be able to grow them - from the beam in the kitchen.

This is my OH with her efforts last year!

This year they got too dry, in the big greenhouse and we had to tie them to string!
