    I gave mine a right good soaking before I went away:doh:

    John, that Onion was gone off inside, so it ended up in the bin.

    Hiya John.

    The rest look ok at this stage, but given all the problems that folks have had, the longer this goes on, the more nervous I get.

      Stop press! Had a look an hour ago, and the leaves are showing signs of going over. Brown/yellow tips, but at least still some central growth. I'm now pondering whether or not to add some Potash? :dunno:

            Fear ye not Loli, anything can happen yet! They look good to me, but this is the first time I've tried growing big 'uns, so I'm probably not a good judge:blue thumb:
