      @Freddy ....very nearly had Parsnipgate here on Christmas eve:rolleyespink:....out of all the containers i emptied there was only one that remotely resembled a snip so it was a last minute dash to the shops to buy some which were hard to come by:frown:.....

      So lesson learnt......i shan't be growing snips in containers ever again:thumbsup:

      Hiya @Lolimac :)

      We had some family round for dinner yesterday, so I went down the garden to dig up a couple. The first one was of a good size, but the second one was huge!! Easily big enough for eight of us:heehee:

                Sorry to say I'm not bothering with giant onions this year, it was fun growing them but sadly the last three I stored in the shed hoping to use over Christmas were mouldy :(

                  Hello and Happy New Year from Australia.
                  I grew brown onions for the first time this year in a raised garden bed and was happy with result. Not overly big but very sweet.

                      Wow I didn't realize that news of our fireworks reached that far, they are spectacular. I missed them this time as I partied for the first time in years as it was a beautiful night to be outdoors.
