2013 Onion Growing Challenge

Would large lemonade bottles be any good...like mini cloches

 

Over the Canna's you mean? Hmm, that's sounding good That would mean I could take the cover off completely. What a blummin' good idea

 

And the Onions Freddy if need be

 

Blimey loli, you're on a roll!

 

Don't overdo it Loli,
save some of yourself for tommorra,

Wouldn't mind seeing what you come up with there John I think there are some purpose built ones available?

Also I reckon mine will need supporting soon, I'm thinking of making up some wire hoop affairs.

This is something I knocked up a few years ago;

It is circle formed on a piece of malleable wire with a long stem,then the ring is bent at right angles to vertical as seen in the picture.

Sorry about the quality of the picture but the supports were not the subject I was photographing!

But I think they are visible enough to show what I mean

Use one on a single cane and then two on a couple of canes (as pic) to increase diameter. Or use some wire from Wilkos.

Those clips are slightly cheaper if bought in packs of 100, and ebay is cheaper than buying from here

 

Thanks Scrungee - they look good ,
just bought 50 from ebay,

Scrunge, how are your Onions doing? Are you keeping something from us?

 

This is my crude attempt at 'Onion standeruppers'...just while they are in the prop
Accidently snapped a couple of the leaves they tasted nice though

 

Here's mine....

 

Looking good Freddy
