We made the most of another fine summer's day to get our onion crop lifted.
With one part of the crop drying off in our plot greenhouse we now have the happy problem of finding somewhere to dry the remainder of our bumper onion harvest. I’ve now weighed all our onions, this time with my brain engaged, and our harvest comes in at 72.8kg or 162.2lbs. The first part of the crop was weighed with a mixture of kg and lbs because I didn’t read the scales properly. Now I’ve sorted out that mix up I’m sure the new weight is the correct.
We had a sudden panic when we saw the weather forecast at the beginning of the week thinking that with rain forecast it would be good to get our onions somewhere dry rather than leave them to get wet in the rain. This was a bit of wishful thinking, as we wanted the rain to help moisten some of the beds on the plot so they could be dug ready for planting up with winter onions (yes even more onions), brassicas and some cut flowers for next spring.
From today’s forecast the rain looks to have disappeared. Hail showers for Friday is unlikely to produce any decent amount of rainfall required for the plot.
