Things are starting to happen with the onions and stuff. A week ago they were all very upright and strong and now the shallots and white onions have started to want to lay down. You may remember that i used wire to keep everything upright for as long as possible so that the sun was on the bulbs all the time............................its working. Another sucess! :) The odd thing is that the red onions are still going strong.

Red Onions

I have no idea when these are ready but from what i have read they will be a while yet as they are still very green on top

Shallots.

They were very upright then about a week ago they started to look untidy. They are still pretty green on top but the bulbs are the right size. I have taken a couple off, they just pulled away very easy and left the rest undisturbed. this is the first time with shallots for me so i am learning.



The white onions will be ready soon hopefully. I wont grow white onions next year as the shallots seem a better idea as they take up less room and are a better size. Because i have the support they havnt laid down properly and the sun is able to get to them still.

My leeks are looking nice and strong. I earthed them up a bit a while ago and it seems to have made them grow thicker. A nice easy crop to grow.
