2013 Onion Growing Challenge

Didn't they just used to call that Country Life Margarine?

Saying that, I fry onions in sunflower oil and i've not noticed anything, ahh, unless the 30% might be rapeseed oil, don't like that stuff at all.

 

i use olive oil for everything

 

Onion soup, I reckon I might need to make some of that too, as I suspect mine won't last either. Got the recipe handy John?

 

Thanks for that John

 

I'd give it a go with Olive and a knob of butter...
I've given up trying to store mine...to many mices in the Garage (that's my old dads fault) he'd dropped the container of bird food and cracked it so they've been bringing their relatives roundor chop and freeze as i've previously mentioned...but not only double bag..triple bag ...they don't half pong

 

Me too....it gives everything a nice taste.

 

@Scrungee & @Vince , how are yours doing?

 

My bought in Showmaster plants http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/2013-onion-growing-challenge.47324/page-35#post-676070 didn't do very well.



I'll never know what the largest one weighed because Mrs Scrungee used them for cooking before I could get around to weighing them.

 

I got my Kelsae seeds through the post yesterday

I'm hoping to grow one ten times bigger than my Mammoth midget....

 

Where did you get yours from?

I've seen these on ebay and they must be really fresh seeds as could only have been packed a few months ago. I've seen some at garden centres with very short use by dates that might have been hanging around for a couple of years.

Hiya chums.

The weigh-ins are due to be completed this sunday - I'm hopeful that @Vince will be able put up his entry.
