A lot of things will be a first for us, growing onions being one of them. From initially planting them, I had noticed each time when we came to the allotment that a onion bulb or two was being moved around, having read up and seen clips on the television it seems the birds get confused when the onions start to sprout, thinking they are worms and come down for them. To help stop this we are using netting to put off the birds and give the onions a fair chance of survival. The first shoots are starting to come through, so hopefully they will be settled before winter.
