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:
You beat us to it with the onions! Ours still in the ground - will it ever be dry again I wonder?
