Never again !!

That is one magnificent onion. Well done. Peter Glazebrook lives in the neighbouring village (Don't know if you've heard of him, very big (excuse the pun) in the giant veg world) Some of the stuff that comes out of his garden is unbelievable.It is the doom of man, that they forget.Comment

Well, I'll say it again, just been on your blog, your veg are amazing, what a fantastic September you've had, I'd have been proud to have produced 6 ripe tomatoes let alone 6 prize winners, sorry you were beaten to the post by (dare i say it) PINK flowers

BIG round of applause to you for all the rest....now where's my onion sets

But far more importantly, did it taste nice?
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Brilliant! I didn't sow any large onions this year, but I usually do. My ambition is to have a huge family barbecue and only need one onion. I've never quite managed it, but that one would have done it, Dan!Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

Well, you may be disappointed, but I'm hugely impressed, and I'd like to thank you, I've just tied my onions up ready for the garden society show on Saturday using your technique, and they are the smartest onions I've ever produced.
Big thanks and hope I win some prizes with them.Comment
