Onions Safely In

The onions are mostly dried off now the tops have withered they are ready for stacking in the tunnel for final dryingIn 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.


The Red Onions are taking longer to dry, but due to the weather we have picked them green to dry under polythene.
