Blimey, you are growing tennis balls, my tennis club would like to know how????   ;D ;D  Apart from that well done, my red onions were rubbish, very small, but still used them in salad.

Fantastic!
The first year I had my plot I managed to grow some reasonable ones, but I've given up trying to grow them now because they always get white rot.
Yours look really good.

Have you tried covering them Robert

No, but it's the second time in three years I've had this problem, so I may well do so next year. The first time, I had a decent crop of overwintering onions, but this year vary few of them survived the wointer. I suspect that was down to the damp, and raised beds should help once I've got them organised.

Ours are ok this year covered so will never chance leaving them in the open again. We also found that Radar have matured really well with no sign of the rot on the bottom but the Troy aren't so good so won't be growing those again

I'm planning a major revamp using raised beds so I'll just add covering more plants. I've been thinking more of the curse of too much water, to be honest, and I've been missing other things.
