Onions Safely In
The onions are mostly dried off now the tops have withered they are ready for stacking in the tunnel for final drying
In a "normal" year we would have left them outside to dry in the sun. This year however there is no prospect of any sun lasting more than a day without rain undoing the ripening process. So you see John collecting onions and stacking in potato chitting trays to be stacked in the tunnel.
