A glimpse of summer


I think that the weather gods must have read my previous post and taken pity on us. Last week we actually had some glimpses of summer.

The weather forecast sounded promising, so I decided to lift the onions and shallots hoping that they could have a few days in the sunshine drying off.

I was pleased to find that only about four onions were spoiled but that may change when I start to use them. I'll be on the lookout for any allium leaf miner pupae.

    I think without a shadow of a doubt, this has been the least summer-like summer I can ever remember. Seems like we had 4 weeks of hot drought in late spring, then constant rain ever since. Looks like you've got a nice crop of onions there. I just grew shallots this year, but the dry spring killed them off completely. I do wonder what we'll be growing in future. Lots of mediterranean varieties no doubt!
