I think I'll just keep growing it on the windowsill, the germination was good after I put the lid on to keep the seeds moist.<br /><br />There's a few benches on that viewpoint, it's a popular spot, but nice and quiet when we were there :) I should take up knitting too.Lou@RainbowChardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435858511588433002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665001536585846125.post-43004336848678482392016-01-27T16:59:08.736+00:002016-01-27T16:59:08.736+00:00Hi sue, the outer skins of the onions (which I'...Hi sue, the outer skins of the onions (which I'd already removed at the allotment) had a tiny bit of mould on but were nice and clean underneath. They're Sturon. The shed does get very warm when the suns on it, so they've started sprouting a little bit now.<br /><br />Hmm, I think I now remember reading that there was an original gazebo there, now replaced by the tower, so maybe they just kept the name. Or I could be completely wrong, I should look it up really!Lou@RainbowChardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435858511588433002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665001536585846125.post-91337624948396248262016-01-27T16:51:02.148+00:002016-01-27T16:51:02.148+00:00Thanks Michelle, the onions are Sturon. I've t...Thanks Michelle, the onions are Sturon. I've tried a few varieties before and these seem the best for me. They've just started to grow green shoots in the middle but I'll use them up before it becomes a problem.<br /><br />Mmm, the cake was good (but must be healthy 'cause of the apple, surely?)<br /><br />That area sounds nice. Our coast walks can get really busy in the summer so it's nice to do some out of season when you don't see that many people, especially on a weekday.Lou@RainbowChardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435858511588433002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665001536585846125.post-74071715188120843552016-01-26T20:19:36.307+00:002016-01-26T20:19:36.307+00:00Yum to the cress.

The few that did germinate and I transplanted didn't amount to anything - I think I pulled them thinking they were a weed ;)<br /><br />Wow - that is an incredible view! I'd bring my knitting and just sit on that bench, enjoying the breezes and birds singing - lovely!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6665001536585846125.post-55633800531421067212016-01-26T11:05:15.976+00:002016-01-26T11:05:15.976+00:00Our onions haven't kept at all well.

I'm searching for onions that a). won't bolt in my weird climate, and b). will keep longer than 2 or 3 months before sprouting or going bad. <br /><br />Don't tempt me with that delicious looking cake, I'm still trying to shed the holiday pounds!<br /><br />What a beautiful walk. I love walks and hikes with coastal views. We have some rather dramatic ones here that my husband and I enjoy frequently - the Big Sur coast - worth a journey IMHO. :-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.com
