Allotment day 53 - Harvest onions & broad beans and clear the greenhouse
Day 53 takes place 2 weeks after the last video. I have been coming down to the plot but the weather has made it difficult to get things done. The cucumbers are ...
That assumes that I do manage to crop them all, and would be a lovely problem to have. Right now I am just trying to be vigilant and make sure they don't get blight or that the slugs get them. Experience has taught me never be too confidant. Thanks for stopping by and all the best.
It might be EelWorm on your onions, but without looking at them close up,
it's tricky to say for certain. Scotch Bonnet!! Wow, you're brave. It all
looks great. Have a great season.
Thanks Claire I will look that up about eel worm. The bulb is untouched and actually I am now pulling out quite nice onions, not huge but perfect for salads. It is just the stalks that seem to be weakened just above the bulb and so can no longer support the leaves. It is quite the mystery. I am in love with Caribbean cooking and so Scotch Bonnet is an absolute essential. Since we moved out of London we can't find it so easily so I decided to try. I have picked the first two but they were still a bit young. They need to swell a bit more but I am hopeful that I will manage to get something with that incredible fruit flavour as well as the heat as it is that that makes them so special. Things are definitely coming on, and progress is being made, but still learning new things every step of the way. Thanks for stepping by and taking the time to write, All the best Claire!
nice update aaron thank you
unfortunatly i lost all my onions . some looked abit like your damaged
ones(but worse) i wondered if it was something i did wrong but on my site
many other plot holders had the same issue i was told it was onion fly .
+Craig's Allotment Ghost Chilli plants are definitely serious heat. I wish you well with it. I think some of my onions are getting attacked by onion fly but there does seem to be another problem with the stem flopping over and it doesn't appear to be the same thing. it seems to be affecting a lot of plots that grew red onions so I think the mystery goes on.
+Aaron's allotmentAs far as i could tell they just attacked the leaves causing the onions to die and rot very fast, i will take a closer inspection to give an accurate answer,first i did think it was the wet weather, also my plot was alittle swampy but most others on the allotment have lost all their onions so not many are left and we have 100 plots so thats a big loss .I am also a chilli man so always enjoy seeing how yours are getting on , i have a ghost chilli plant growing well so that will be a challenge,
Thanks Craig. Did the onion fly attack the bulb? So far all the ones that have fallen over have had undamaged bulbs and are nice to eat they just seem to have weak necks that means the leaves flop over. Sammo had an idea that it was the wet conditions over winter, and that did sound as if there was some merit in it. Would be interested to hear what effect they had on yours. Thanks for your input.
Hi Aaron
Sammo the pot gardener here just letting you know that I have grown
overwintering red electric onions and they also are starting to fall over
now. They very in size but for me even a small onion is a success. We have
had a number of very wet days up north and I think this has weakened the
necks of my onions due to rotting starting to set in. My white ones are
still growing in size so not all is lost. Keep up the good work.
That is really interesting Sammo, and I really appreciate you letting me know. Claire suggested it could be an eel worm but i am inclined to agree with you that it is the structure of the onion rather than something attacking it, and if they don't like wet, that would be the cause. Maybe red onions are just delicate little flowers compared to their white cousins. Thanks for the information and your kind words of encouragement. All the best.
I read that chilli plants and tomato plants don't do well together and I also knew that with the cucumber plants I was going to fill the greenhouse so I decided to give tomato plants a miss this year. My plan is to get a polytunnel for next year and then I can grow tomato plants again. After the blight incident last year I am not going to chance growing them outside again. I am still building up the infrastructure on the plot and so it is a little and often to make it all happen.
Dexter is such a stunner!! He is such a nice mover & jumps realy nicely for
