Onions

The onions came out of damp, claggy, ground. I should have waited for a day. The next day was dry, and harvesting would have been easier.  The onions were very variable in size, with the largest being at the centre of the patch.  Why?  I can only speculate.  I thought I had watered evenly.  Compost dug in last year? I don't think it was so uneven.  Anyway here's a couple of pictures. I have to leave them to cure for two weeks before plaiting them into a string or two.
...and cleaned up:
