Onions: Stuttgart Giant |
With our Twilight Garden by Candlelight getting worryingly close, there's much to do in the garden especially with Head Gardener on light duties. As well as strimming and trimming, Chris has found himself mowing - an unusual activity for him at PTC! The orchard has never has such smart stripes before!
Determined to keep busy in the garden, Head Gardener cleaned and trimmed the home grown onions which had been lifted a few weeks earlier prior to drying in the greenhouse. Having tidied them all, it was time to string them using binder twine as strung onions are really heavy. Every year, I wish I had room to grow more! We have finished eating 4 rows of potatoes, 1 row of peas, 1 row of broad beans and 2 rows of lettuces.
At present, we're munching our way through 2 rows of runner beans, 1 row of spring onions, 1 row of beetroot and 2 rows carrots.- AND there are only 2 of us!!
