                          Hiya fellow growers:)

                          Pulled up the remainder of my Onions this evening as the tops have died down. A bit late now to do a weighing/photo, so I'll update in the next few days:blue thumb:

                            Mice kept eating most of them all over winter & spring, so I doubt any are/were bigger than JWK's 275g set grown onion, but will check.
