Onions


Rather than leaving them to dry outside as I would normally, all of my onions were lifted to dry in the workshop. Out of 300 sturon sets planted at the begining of March, 6 bolted and 4 were soft. I really rate sturon as a standard "kitchen" onion as I lose so few. As well as the trug shown above, 3 boxes of them went into the car boot to bring home.

I will lift the rest from plot 2 tonight, that bed also includes some red karmen onions, the first red that I have had a decent yield from, with virtually no bolters.
