Week 35 - Bed DD4

We pulled everything up from the bed and laid the harvest on the surface to dry a bit.

The onions (left) to the left are a nice size, the shallots (top right) are quite big, but a lot of the garlic (bottom right) are small.

There were quite a range of onion sizes, with the two on the right representing the smallest and largest of the healthy plants. A few of the onions were rotten like the one on the left, and a few more (second from the left) seem to have been pressed into the soil at an angle when they were young possibly by one of the local dogs walking across the bed and were unable to form a decent bulb.
