I know others are having this problem too at the moment so it seems some idiot has started to flood blogs with spam. At least my visitors aren't getting the comments - I hope!<br /><br />I think for our onions, especially the heat treated ones, it was the awful weather around planting time at least the other had the chance to make a bit of growth before then. As we gardeners say - there's always next year!Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-2342734888134652612012-09-16T21:47:53.719+00:002012-09-16T21:47:53.719+00:00Sue, I used to have my comments set to 'Google...Sue, I used to have my comments set to 'Google accounts only' but a couple of friends said it made it difficult for them (I know, why can't they log in like the rest of us .... but I bit my tongue!)

Fortunately all so far have been picked up by Blogger spam and I have deleted them without them ever being published but it is a pain having them sent to my email box as alerts. I wonder why whatever it is man or machine doesn't realise this happens and just stops wasting their and my time! If it persists I may have to think about editing my comments setting. Does anyone set to those with Google accounts only? Trouble is I don't want to exclude anyone and don't want to go back to the dreadful verification either.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-32857999152761706892012-09-15T09:32:17.555+00:002012-09-15T09:32:17.555+00:00We're still waiting for our autumn sets to arr...We're still waiting for our autumn sets to arrive Elaine and fortunately (in the gardening sense - I'd love the chance to photograph them) don't have badgersSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-87925025147824554752012-09-14T21:27:19.633+00:002012-09-14T21:27:19.633+00:00Your onions look about the same as mine - they wer...Your onions look about the same as mine - they were sooo slow taking off but didn't turn out too bad in the end.
