  • Just Harvested the Onions

    We are very pleased with our onions. Over wintered from sets.
    Might grow some sets myself, I have been told to sow the seeds that are ready immediately.

      Superb harvest Phreddy, what variety are they? Your soil looks drier than mine.

      Welcome to the vine btw

          Very impressive Phreddy! Was they grown from set or seed, and overwintering or spring planted?

          Our first batch of overwintering were ready about a week ago, so got harvested and are great, but no where near the amount of yours! Our next batch should be ready any time now, then we've the onion from seed to harvest later on too! In total we've about 300 onions growing, about half of which are red, and they are going great guns! I love onions!

            Do try and keep up, Mrs D!

            Onions look fab Phreddy - and I'm jealous of your red onions, Mrs D. Jealous of virtually any onions, actually, given our eelworm probs at the Hill earlier in the year.

              Doh! Lol!

              Our reds are doing really well, share you're not closer Hazel, as we've about 170 odd of them growing away nicely, and I'd chuck you a few, as I'm not sure they are going to store well, but we'll see!

                  They look very good I pulled mine about two weeks ago.Mine were also overwintered from sets (planted out in October)

                    Great looking onions Phreddy. I just grew red onions from set this year. Not for storing - but just to eat as I went along, and to put in salads while waiting for the spring onions. I was pleased with the result.

                      Cor, what a woppa (Sun headlines!) That's an impressive onion crop Phreddy. Welcome to the grapevine. What else are you growing - you're obviously an Onion Guru!
                      Alice, your red onion looks great. Mine have never been very big - I stick to Sturon sets now - I haven't room for passengers!

                        Don't know what sort! I garden in Bulgaria, bought sets by the kilo and planted them. We don't seem to have 'sorts' here only onions.
                        EarthBabe: I'd say it is dry we haven't had any rain to speak of for months. Soil is very sandy and I need to get some humas in it. I have 3 compost heaps almost ready.
                        Flummery: Mostly toms and a few Butternut squash, cues, aubergine and lots of maybe origano or savory. Bought seedlings of something that smelled nice!

                          Well if they're anything like your onions you'll eat well! Nice to hear what's growing elsewhere.

                            Forgot to mention that we have around 60 fruit trees.
                            Last year was spectacular, eating necterines warm off the tree and having to bend so that the juice dropped onto the ground.
                            This year it was a mild winter with no snow - usually up to 4 feet deep. Result, little water getting down in the earth and few fruits forming.
                            Grapes are doing alright though.
