Your onions are a lot better then mine. Most had put on very little growth and aren't worth trying to keep. I assume it's down to the rubbish weather earlier in the year around here as I've never had any problems in the past. Spuds were rubbish too.
hi chris 172 onions look good chris mine are now on racks I made and drying well had a good crop but some where a bit smaller than I was expecting most like a tennis ball but I had forgot to manure it last year with bird muck but on the main a good crop me just being greedy.. garlic is all tied up dug up about 10 plants of spuds and filled some big bread trays so hoping for a good crop for some reason the out door toms are doing better than expected.(((( chris was it you who said you had hybrid peppers and chilli s that you kept over from last year) ) this years hybrid plants chillis.// peppers// lots on plants will be taking of soon to make sause s ps chris my racks are the same as yours wemust have went to same builder I have 6 racks but will make room for the turnips//and cabbage to store on them

Hi all
Well that's most of my onions preped for storage and the greenhouse just about cleared
Got a good crop of onions this year so was pleased with my end result ahead of hanging up some where cooler at home.
Even pickled some of my shallots just ready in time for Chritmas
Got my seeds ready for next year
Happy gardening
