... I would be tempted to do the 50/50 thing !

Thanks everyone for your good advice.
Will eat one row and cover the other row with fleece and see what happens.

Eristic says onions for showing need lots of feeding and lots of water and lots of tlc.  Well they got none of that so serves me right! Next year ... (She wants to grow some really big oinions because someone in our village does, and they have a little joke that she will challenge him! He has been doing it for years so faint hope!

Now that's a good supply of onions! Most impressed.

I think i went overboard when planting!!!    I planted them closer, so in fact I will have reduced the size quite a bit......   but i planted loads assuming that i wouold loose some, or some wouldnt even sprout, and they ALL grew!!!!!?

[GrannieAnnie]

Were these from seed or sets toto??  Loads you've got there!

[toto691]

They were sets.....  and just 99p ones from Wilko's!!!  Setton Turbo and
Stuttgarter onions.....  not too keen on the Stuttgarter though.... the bulbs look too squashed!!!

I think i'll string them tonight.

My onions last year were the stutttgarter from Wilko's too!  Not huge onions, but kept well.  I only had a couple go soft on me!  This year becaseu I was late, I couldn't get any so bought them from Ebay.  Don't know what they were, but they were rubbish!

They look really nice! well done - they don't look as if they have suffered at all - the size looks right for the type of onion. Hope they store well for you.
