I went down the village to my veggie plot today to plant my beans out
and if I didn't know that no-one can get in, I'd have said they'd been
vandalised. Almost all the leaves have been snapped off and are lying
around but I guess it was the huge winds we had yesterday, all day.
My question is, can they recover?

Tina

They will recover, but don't expect large onions this year.

Baz
My onions are pathetic this year. Small and undistiguished would
describe them perfectly I think.

Peter

I don't grow onions very often. I have this year because I have lots of
ground to cover. My onions are a bit sickly. Yellowing and droopy.
I do grow garlic and ours are average. Both autumn and spring sown seem so
average. I like to see a very dark green, bulbous stem now. Not this year
yet. More of a pencil like stem now. Time will tell.
