Winning onions at Sileby


As you can see not the most uniform onions ever exhibited but in pretty good condition and all about 2 ½ lbs each. Next season I’m going to make sure I have my polytunnel finished so that I can give my onions optimum ‘titivation’. At the moment they are grown in my two greenhouses in the borders but they can get swamped once the tomatoes and cucumbers start to grow, so I lose a few weeks extra growing time. By having them in a line in my polytunnel I can make sure I can construct some sturdy support systems for keeping the foliage growing erect and hopefully exhibit even better specimens this time next year.
