Onions pulled today

Todays harvest was the onions. The greenery was dying and very soggy from the recent rain, so I reckoned it was time to harvest and start the drying process.
Strange thing is the ones I planted in the large pots did far better then the ones in my veg plot. Very strange.
Pictures below for your comments.

Looks rather good Robert. I've just prised up mine a bit to start them drying. I've been unable to grow them for several years due to white rot, but decided to try some in a fish box and compost this year and the results surprised me as they are about as good as when I used to grow them in the ground. I planted 15 and haven't lost one.

 

Nice onions Robert, spell of hot sunshine is what you need to ripen them off.

I grew some from sets and some from seed this year.

The sets were rubbish, I think they may have been diseased.
My seed grown ones have done very well, a mild variety for eating raw.
