Watching the onions growing, is like watching the Grand National horserace

They say a picture says a thousand words, for this we have some photographs with a few words underneath

A bargain buy is what started it all, but as we put them in the ground we already had one faller, one set was a dud we were left with 49

After a few trips to the allotments it seemed the onion sets were being moved around, most likely reason is that as the onions send up shoots birds confuse them for worms and come down for them, a bit a surprise i would suggest if they try to chomp on them. At this stage down to 45


We have since uncovered the onions as you can see from the photographs below and they have had a little TLC with grit and compost, but not everyone of them has germinated it seems, we currently have 37 still in the running.
