Red and white onions
Red and white onions
Planted 7 th October 2008. Taylor onion sets.
A few of the onions had gone brown at the tops were bending over and have been for a while. I had a go at pulling one, then next thing I knew I had pulled the whole lot of the white onions.
I read you can wait for the stems to go yellow then push over and leave the onions in the ground for a week or two, but then I have also read this could harbour disease.
I am going to leave these dry out for a week, weather permitting if the weather changes I will move the onions into the shed.

Later today when Clodagh comes we can pull the red onions.
