Lovely redcurrants. My indiscernible strawberries have finished now, waiting for the garden in. @purplerallim I’m growing B. Alpha for my snails, I was hoping for something a bit bigger, they’ll want one each.
Anyone know of a long variety for growing in the GH?
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
@lyn We choose to pick Beth Alpha this small, especially this early in the year, but you can leave them to get bigger, without any problems , as some of ours had to wait to be used and were almost full sized. There was no change in flavor or skin thickness on larger cues.
@Sheps, it's one of the things I love about spring onions, I start harvesting them when they're not much bigger than chives, and they will stay in good condition in the ground for weeks gradually thickening. Can't beat fresh spring onions and a nice bit of cheddar on fresh bread.

Sorry for the painted on sunglasses, I've never been one for plastering my face all over the internet, pesky Interpol 😉
Great looking produce.
Looking at the size of your Spring Onions I reckon mine aren't too far off harvesting.
