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!
