I’ve lifted my onion crop

Aug 6, 2009 by     2 Comments    Posted under: All, Veg garden

After much umm-ing and arr-ing I finally did it, I’ve lifted my onion crop. As you can see from the first photo the onions were in a sorry state, but growing well. However, I’d started to lose a few to seeding so I think the time was right for digging them up. So after an hour’s pulling and cleaning I have nearly 60lbs of onions. I’m not so sure Helen is happy with me hanging them out to dry on the washing line though.
