TaraThe loud wind never reached the ship,
Yet now the ship moved on !
Beneath the lightning and the Moon
The dead men gave a groan.
They groaned, they stirred, they all uprose,
Nor spake, nor moved their eyes ;
It had been strange, even in a dream,
To have seen those dead men rise.Comment

I've made my own sets this year by sowing lots of onion seeds quite late on and digging them up quite early; I am trialling about 50 of them to see what happens.
I was going to not grow from sets but I can't help myself. I'll buy a small bag just to fill some ground, I can always give them away to relatives next summer if I have too many.

Personally I wouldn't plant overwintering onions for a month or so yet, the trick is for them to get their roots down before winter, but if they go in too early they're likely to bolt come spring. Most mail order suppliers won't even be posting them out until late September/early October.Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.

WHY didn't I see this yesterday morning?
I was in Wilkos yesterday and didn't even think to look at the bulbs!
I've run out of skiving-off-from-work vouchers too.Comment
