This weekend I took the decision to harvest the onions.  I never can quite decide – is it too early or too late?….But this looks just right!  At this stage I monitor them by the day.  A couple had bolted to flower which told me we were getting close.  On the other hand, some still looked so wimpy and I wanted them to be fat!  

In the end, the vast majority proved to be perfect and now they’re laid out on wire to air before I store them away in the dark.  A happy onion harvest indeed!
