Not great news, but not terrible news regarding the onions. The stems have been looking a bit puckered and have been bending over for a little while. Turns out they've got Downy Mildew - basically due to horrible weather, oh, and watering from above rather than just at the bulb...Jamie found some information about it in the US - see link.
At least we should get some onions to scoff though and won't have to pull the lot which we were worried about - they just won't be so impressive as some of the huge bulbs people have around site :-(
The shallots seem to have got away with it so far because they're just about ready to be picked and dried.
At least we've got flowers on our dwarf french beans now so we should see some signs of beans soon...
