time to harvest onions

That's about the time that I lift mine and put them somewhere else to dry in the sunshine ....

I have onions four inches in diameter so they are plenty big enough just that they grow much quicker out here in France. I will lift mine on Monday morning and get them dried out for storage. I have some cracking Spanish onions I grew from seed again four inches across and lovely round onions to boot. Have another onion called white Ebenezer looks a cracking onion. I also have an onion that I don't think you can get in the UK it is native to this region called onion Trebons named after the small town in the foothills of the Pyrenees grows like a long shallot and can be stored or used green very very sweet  they make an omelette with it here again looking good but need a bit longer grown from seed.

I had to harvest.  The tops shrivelled up.  Might be disaster year for them.
