Title: Giant Onion Attempt....The Result.
Post by: vegmandan on September 16, 2009, 23:46:49

Well,I tried my best this year to finally grow a ten pounder,but failed,yet again. :'(

Finally managed to get to 9lb 1 oz.

Considering I don't have any electric or even mains water on my plot I suppose It's not too bad....but, so near yet so far.

Never again. ;D

very well done, what are you going to do with it? will you replant it to save its seed for future years?

Magnificent effort considering you did it without the propper equipment.
