We have decided to harvest our onions.  Some are a decent size, a bit earlier then normal(yes i know we are due a bit of sunny weather but for how long!)

So have taken 95% of them up and put them under the car port for a week so they can cure until ready for hanging.

Didnt want to risk them rotting , 2 years ago all was looking great then in august we had a wet week and we lost loads!

    I pulled our red ones up at the weekend about 10% of them had rotted  not a bad size  but thought better small than none!!!

Wonderful!
Finally a dry spell here, noticed last week that mine are all flopped over and a good percentage are drying out so they will come out this weekend I think. I will use the space for other crops !
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

Its really cheered up cropping the onions! , as its not going well with squash, keep having aborted ones even when hand pollinating!, so am feeling much happier now the onions are safely in the dry and they can get nicely cured over the next week and its going to be hot next week (27 degrees!!) so they will be out on the patio!
