Under 250g onions sown
Still plenty of time for the under 25og onion class to be sown but this is normally the time of year I like to get mine going so they have plenty of time to dry. Last year all my 250g onions got mildew so I will need to spray them this year with copper (its organic don't you know). I have gone with globo this year as I quite like the shape, its like a minature kelsea. I have also sown a few of Medwyns trial 250g onions which I have no idea what they will be like.
Also the start of my garden flower sowings and today I got in delphiniums, lupins, hollyhocks. Most of these are flower second year but I have found if you sow these now they will flower first year no problems if looked after in a warm greenhouse. I also put in some sweet williams that will not flower this year but I start them early and they stay inside for the entire year so I have really nice plants.

Hello,
I found your blog through Smithyveg and have emailed him regarding a similar request.
I am currently studying at The Royal College of Art for my Masters in product Design. I am conducing research into vegetable growers for a project and i hope you don't mind me contacting you.
I am trying to find out what motivates growers and any interesting/unusual practices that growers use .eg. talking to plants etc.
I was wandering whether it might be possible to come and meet with you and document what interests you as a vegetable grower and possibly see your vegetable patch. This would be to inform the research of my project (some first hand research).
I hope to hear back from you.
Much appreciated
