          Mine are in and growing, but I've gone for Red Pearl from Dobies, not sure if they are big ones or not.

            Sown my Kelsae last night and got growlamps set up for when/if they germinate. The seed is a couple of years old so may not germinate, I'm also a bit late so don't expect any record breakers this year.

                    Had a look at my stored giant onions in the shed from last year and some were starting to go soft, so had to rescue them. Chucked away three that were too far gone, the rest I've chopped up and frozen raw. These are really good for frying up with sausages or adding to casseroles.

                    My normal sized onions store much better.

                      Just potted on my Red Onions into old yoghurt pots and some fancy compost, now tucked up in bubble wrap in the conservatory as it's snowing outside.

                            Well they're out of the bubble wrap and sort of sitting there getting over the shock no doubt, sunny today so hopefully that will stir them into action(Sweet peas planted similar time are massive!!)
