2013 Onion Growing Challenge

Yes that's the problem i had John so now mine are left to their own devices unless there's a chance of a severe frost but by looking ahead at the forecasts for this area the lowest overnight temperature is 7/8 ...so hoping the worst is over now

 

Not a happy man this morning! I've just got back in after re-planting half my onion bed. Weather not to blame, more like a four legged, long tailed feline (plenty of evidence, poo and footprints)

Just glad I had some back up plants.

I would camp out in the greenhouse with Shadow but she'd do more damage in pursuit of the culprit so I've reinstated the debris netting, it cuts down the amount of light but rather that than another episode like last nights.

 

Sympathies Vince,

It was 2 Rams on my plot, the string seems to be keeping them out though.

 

That's real annoying Vince....the netting should do the trick

 

It's not so easy trying to grow big Onions eh? Seems like there's always something conspiring against usIt's weird this gardening lark. Sometimes one can just bung something in, forget about it, and hey presto...result!

 

I'm suprised these fellas are still standing after the beating they took with the down pour we had here last night.....

 

Looking good there Loli

 

Thanks Freddy....i'm pleased they look to be a bit stronger.....

 

Yeah, mine are flop cityI'd be interested to know how Scrungee 's are doing

 

Bought in plants are sulking in their pots, but those from sets have overtaken them. They have even overtaken my Autumn planted onions that kept getting their tops eaten off by mice over Winter/Spring, and I'm thinking of pulling them as spring onions and putting some pots in their bed.

 

Just planted mine out under cover of darkness.
