Japanese Onions Progress In The Polytunnel.


I thought I would show you how my Japanese onions are progressing in "Portugal "  my trusty polytunnel.



They are just starting to sprout stalks or stems.  A bit like Daffodils when they have finished flowering.  When you say: " Those Daffodils have stopped flowering.  They look like onions".

"Leave em alone or else they'll go blind."

The "fish" boxes where more than likely washed up on one of our local beaches not far from where I am writing this almost daily scrawl/blog.  

It's a bank holiday weekend  here in little ould Ireland.  Only Ireland could have a bank holiday when you can't  go anywhere apart from the supermarket.  I want some compost but nowhere is open until flipping Tuesday!  Well except for the supermarkets and even the German one is no longer selling compost.  

Whilst we are on the subject of moaning.  What is achieved by the clocks going back?  I for one do not work in a first world war ammunitions factory.  This afternoon I will say:

"It would be ten to six this time yesterday"

"You said the same last year".

The homemade compost is sprouting weed seeds too.  Anybody else growing winter onions?  Are allotments still open with all these Draconian covid regulations?  

I found the following song about onions.  It will stick in my head all week:

  1. Allotments are still open. At my sisters there is an in and out route. you walk all the way around and there is someone manning the hut each day till 2.30pm. there has been a lot of vegetable theft this year. Their compost and wood chippings are ordered en masse and your allocation is delivered to your plot by the volunteers for that day. She said there is a shift on the allotments, where it used to be mostly men, this year it is mostly women and children. I suppose this is due to previously under lock down you could visit your allotment for as long as you wanted. If you have a small house, getting the kids outside to the allotment will have helped with cabin fever.

  2. Thanks Sol for the allotments heads up. I often think of the banter and camaraderie and Mickey taking we had when I had my allotments in Blighty. I like living in the countryside and owning my own bit of land but there is the downside: rural isolation. I think the mental health issues are being forgotten with these covid lockdown regulations. Like you say Sol if you have a small house or flat, getting the kids outside and to the allotment will have helped with the cabin fever. It must be the same for lonely people not having a pub or cafe to visit for the socializing not just the drink.

    1. I dread to think about visiting the Dr in the winter. You cant go in and wait, you have to stand outside. As you know, they always over run and you could be an hour if not more waiting to see the Dr. People are going to get soaked through or freezing wind cutting through your clothes. I feel bad for older people. it will be super harsh on them.

    2. I agree Sol. I have heard similar stories of schoolchildren having to waiting outside their school before it's time to let them in.

  3. Yes I was reading about people being forced to stand outside in the rain and cold. I also read that the winter flu vaccine is only 75 percent effective. Saying that I haven seen flu for donkeys years. You know that flu that sends you to bed and not just an heavy cold. Do you think they will find a covid vaccine? I won't be rushing to get one.

    1. Dave I have never been one to have a flu vaccine, but as you can get flu and covid at the same time we paid and had them at the chemist as soon as they came out. I am determined to not be a burden on the NHS not doing everything I can to stay well. If that means I have to stay out of shops and only go to the supermarket then so be it. Whilst there are people partying in the north of England and the police are raiding and people are jumping out of the window - I have no faith in others not giving it to me by accident. I will take every precaution I can. Watching some of the flash backs to the beginning of February it is like watching the start of a dystopian film, something like 28 days later.

    2. You've got to do do what you think is right for you. I couldn't live in England with Brexit and the Tories in charge. Sorry for being political.

      Delete
    3. I am unsure how you got from having a flu jab to brexit. But no matter who was in power if it had been Corbyn we would have been f'ed by now. Everyone I know says the same thing.

      Delete
    4. Corbyn would have built the NHS again. The EU just gave Ireland hundreds of millions to help it cope with Covid, Who would the UK have next year?

      Delete
    5. I am not following you the next general election isnt till 2024. Whether I like it or not, we are already out of the EU, why would they give anything to the UK? I thank god that Starmer is in now, Corbyn lost the election not his party. Both he and his brother are complete jokes. If you lived in England would you really have wanted the man whose brother says that covid is a hoax and is an anti-vaxxer, as the PM? I have great hope that Lib Dems or the Green Party really start to make some noise and are more prominent before 2024. Its time for change, Labour and the Tory party are out dated and hope for something more like Finland. I can dream

  4. I agree with you about the vaccine. I would be very dubious about getting it until I was 200% certain it is safe.

  5. I have said it before and I will say it again...STOP CHANGING THE CLOCKS! Time is something you should not attempt to interfere with so leave it alone and stop the annual confusion each March and October. There is absolutely no logical reason for messing about with the clocks. That damned William Willet and Benjamin Franklin have a lot to answer for!

    1. P.S. Why would I have Jap onions when I could have English ones?

  6. The more you read about it the more frightening it seems. There's people arguing that it will lead to us all being chipped in a 666 Armageddon way to the vaccines being made from aborted fetuses..? Admittedly there have wome great breakthroughs like the end of Smallpox and Diptheria which was prevalent in Ireland in the thirties and forties. But we can't rush into having any vaccine without thorough tests, Thanks JayCee.

  7. Yes YP. "Time is money" -Benjamin Franklin quote.

    Why can't 5hey just leave the time alone.

    Most vegetables originate in the Mediterranean and and middle east. Japanese onions are winter onions originating from Jap. They even grow in the snow. I grow them every year.

  11. FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSESI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had Herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I Came across testimonies of some people of how DR Ebhota Cured them from Herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold IT was negative by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR Ebhota because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through the same situation worry no more and contact him via email drebhotasolution@gmail.com or WhatsApp him via +2348089535482.he also special on curing 1. HIV/AIDS2. HERPES 3. CANCER 4.ALS 5. HEPATITIS B 6.DIABETES 7. HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS DISEASE(HPV)8. ALZHEIMER 9. LUPUS (Lupus Vulgaris or Lupus Erythematosus

  13. I was cured of HIV with the use of natural herbs. My name is Alandre and I'm from Texas. I love herbs so much. Most times, injection and drugs are just a waste of time. I was cured, I suffered from HIV for 13 years but with the help of Dr. Mark herbal medicine, I was cured within a few weeks of drinking the herbs he sent to me through courier delivery service. This same doctor also cured my Aunty from herpes, as soon as I heard she had herpes, I quickly refer her to Dr.Mark and she was cured too after drinking his herbs.I have referred a lot of people to Dr. Mark and they were all cured from their various illness. Have you taken herbs before?. You have spent so much money on drugs,injections,surgeries etc and yet you have no good result to show for it.

  15. Thanks to Doctor Razor for the Great miraculous work he did in my life with his herbal remedy. I have been living with this virus and I have shared with my partners my situation because they deserve to have a choice of whether they want to change being with me or not. I unfortunately did not have a choice in this matter leaving me vulnerable and now faced with this virus for the rest of my life or until a cure was discovered.I refused to take the Medical drugs my PCD have told me to take, I surrendered to my fate, because I was careless. Late on at night, Feb 13 2017, I came across Doctor Razor herbal medicine. I browsed about the authenticity of This Doctor, I got to see several Testimonies regarding his works from people he had helped with his medicine. i reached out to him and told him my problems, after we spoke he promised to help me out. I started using his herbal medicine which he sent to me Via the Courier Delivery, and asked me to take the herbal medicine for 18 days. which i did. I am delighted to let you all know that I Got cured of Herpes Virus, after the Medical Doctor had confirmed this with the test results, when I went for a medical check up after completing the Herbal Dosage Of 18 days.

  16. Herpes can be treated and cured permanently but only few believe it. I was diagnosed of HSV few years ago, my doctor told me there is no permanent cure for the disease, i was given antiviral medication to reduce the outbreak of the virus, at the initial stage it was not so bad till it progressed to the end middle stage were i had difficulties going about my daily functions I was totally devastated till I saw a comment about Dr. festus , who have used herbal medicines to cure virus like HERPES, HPV, ALS, when I contacted Dr. festus via email, after a few discussion, he prepared the medicine and ship it to me, when I received the herbal medicine, I took it according to his instructions, few weeks later I went to the hospital to have a blood test and the test came back negative, i was cured and free from this Virus...

  17. I NEVER BELIEVED IN HERBS BUT DOCTOR RAZOR MADE ME A BELIEVER. Massive Gratitude to doctor Razor who got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. I got diagnosed with herpes on , 2017.  I have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Doctor Razor, but I never believed them. I was hurt and depressed, I was too curious and wanted to try Doctor Razor, then I contacted him through his email (drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com) when I contacted him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, I pleaded with him to help me out. I Visited his website :https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome     My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. He sent me his medication and asked me to go for check up after 18 days of taking his herbal medicine. I agreed with him and I took his medication and went for check up, to my greatest surprise my result came out negative after the treatment, I'm really delighted that i'm completely cured and healthy again. I waited for a month to be very sure I was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess it's time i recommend anyone going through Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis B, Diabetes, Cancer should reach him.
