Onions

Well, the onions have been in for 6 months and are ready to come up.
The smelly ones were ready first.

The non-smelly ones were a bit slower and some developed bull necks.
Have since read this (by Peter Cundall - he always has the best tips) and understand the reason.
Note to self - read article again next year before planting.
Now to cure them and store them away.

I know everyone says how much tastier home-grown vegies are,
but Vince and I were both surprised by the "high degree of niceness" of home-grown onions compared to the store bought ones.
Kinda crisper and fresher.

I Can Feel the Vitamins Exploding in my Brain!

So excited to make dinner tonight from fresh produce straight from our vegie patch!

The last of the Broad Beans.
The first lot of the onions.
My purple potatoes.
And a big handful of flat-leaf parsley.

I fried them all up in some extra virgin olive oil, some chopped bacon and some freshly ground pepper and salt.
We are both full as fat little ticks!
