Onions and Salads

The onion crop has been reasonable this year despite the cold wet summer, last year we lost most of our crop due to flooding on the growing area. this year we have moved our veg growing area so to avoid floods in future.

These onions are in the tunnel drying off , we leave the tops on until they dry off then we trim tops and roots.We are loading these for the Moseley Farmers Market they are all trimmed and will be sold loose, direct to our customers.


The last salad crop to be planted in the frames is being harvested, all salad crops planted before next spring will now be grown in the tunnels.
We sow direct into the frame, as a result there is no transplant shock and the young plants grow vigorously right from germination through to flowering, when the frame is cleared.

This last frame crop is looking good and will be picked for a few more weeks yet.
