I harvested my winter onions (Radar) on July 15th and as usual got a good crop.

The Red onions (Electric Red) mostly bolted..

RADAR ONIONS & PRINTANOR GARLIC

Winter Onions Planted

So, a little bit later than usual, I finally got round to planting my winter onions on Saturday (November 12th)

I usually try to have them in by the end of October, but didn't get around to it. I think the current mild weather and of the last few weeks will help me out though.

I planted my old reliable RADAR and some ELECTRIC RED.

Additionally, I planted out some of my saved Potato Onion bulbs and some saved Elephant Garlic cloves and rounds. The rounds were from last year's crop that, for some reason, didn't form into cloves.

I also planted some of my saved garlic cloves that have been grown from Garlic Rounds that were harvested in July 2015 and sown again in Oct 2015. The idea is that they become somewhat acclimatised/localised from growing them from rounds and perform better over time..we'll see..

I also planted the veggie bag below with some smaller Radar & Electric Red bulbs. This bag was well fertilised over the last few weeks with rabbit poo.
