Onion & shallot harvest time

14 Jul

Some of our onions and shallots are now ripe for harvest. They are ready when the long stems appear to be drooping towards the ground. Stage one is to dry them for several days before platting. See below photo of drying, will take folks through the platting stage once the onions and shallots dry!

Onions out to dry

The continuing downpour is killing our lovely lavender, any tips on how to best practically protect them, gratefully received!

Rain stops play

This year’s wet weather has really damaged our vegetable bed border lavender
