    my very first onion and harvest, braided with a pic,

    hi all i just thought first i would figure out how to put a pic on here as im not too bright with computers. and i wanted to show you all my very first harvest,(i am very proud of my new found love of gardening) i have red and yellow/white onions and garlic ,i saw a few vids on utube on how to braid stuff up, so all in all im happy i dont know the varieties of what i planted as my enthusiasm to grow outweighed my interest in techinal side of things, im just happy i made some stuff grow, only 2 garlic rotted a bit ion the ground out of about 30??? and a few onions out of maybe 40? i have left a few in the ground as they were still strong and upright? what should i do with the area that they came out of? iv definately got the gardening bug! i love it

      They look great, esp for a first go. Mine went in late, I hope I have enough decent onions to braid some! No garlic for me this year. gonna get some started in October though.

      Will be searching youtube later!
      While wearing your night clothes, plant cucumbers on the 1st May before the sun comes up, and they will not be attacked by bugs.

        Well done Bretty..
        You could try some late carrots or turnips/ swedes in there now if you wanted...
        I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives....

          thanks all , i have turnips already between my rows of sweetcorn as the packet said 90cm between rows but i recently discovered this is too much, so i intercropped (oh yeh, i have gardening books too now! a present for fathers day off the kids!) with turnips, but i do love swede so i think i will give it a go;
          i put nearly everything in the ground mid march'ish so the garlic was a tad small, but my onions were ok, and now my boy likes onions so thats a bonus, he hasnt liked them since birth but now at nearly 7yrs old he has seen them growing and asked to taste them and he likes them, everyones a winner, i will definately plant double next year though, carrots are only 99 cents a kilo over here so i dont think they would be "worth" growing?

            Very impressive, I don't seem to have much luck with onions so well done!
            Tried and Tested...but the results are inconclusive

              It's great when the kids take an interest. My little un is a liability in the garden - but, if he knows it was grown in the garden and has seen it/been involved/helped pick it - he will give it a chance and try it.

              Tomatoes and cucumbers are a given - if allowed he will decimate the lot. I think he gets that from his mother.
