2013 Onion Growing Challenge

Blimey John... that's brilliant

 

Looking good there John

Mine aren't looking as good as yours at this stage. I underestimated the amount of support they would need. Consequently I have lots of flopped down leavesAnyway, here's mine...





Cheers...Freddy

 

Looking good Freddy

 

I need to set up a stronger rig for mine...the wind and rain are marmalizing them....

 

Yeah, super massive Onions are susceptible to the weather. I'm just going to let them do what they do now, as the damage has already been done

A few of mine have turned brown at the tips, any thoughts?

 

Could it be a weather thing again Freddy....
Mine seem to be getting too tall for my liking and not fattening up....i hope they're not boulting........somebody shut the gate and quick.....how come Medwin doesn't have this palarva

 

Hiya Loli.

That's no problem, imo. At this time what you're looking for is leaf production, the bulbs will swell later
Could you post a pic?

 

Will do

 

They're blummin' hard work eh John? How much longer do you reckon leaf production will carry on for? Maybe another six weeks?

 

Pic as promised....

 

They look really promising Loli. Apart from a couple of flopped down leaves, they are fine, imo

 

Thanks Freddy,not growing an onion before i'm not sure what to expect.....the Red barron sets i put in yonks ago still look the same apart from looking 'leafy'.....
