Time To Plant My Japanese Onions.


Yep folks it's that time of year again.  Time to plant my Japanese or Winter onion sets.  I have grown these for about the last twenty five years.   

They originate in Japan and are really tough growers no matter what the Autumn,  Winter and Spring throws at them.  You just plant them like you plant your onion sets in Spring.  Japs are ready to harvest around June.  We start eating them in late Spring.

My Japs crop were pretty disappointing this year.  I think it was the very wet and windy Winter, just for a change.  That's gardening or growing things for you: one kicks forwards, one kick backwards.   Yes I know you can by "Orgasmic/Organic" onions from Lidl but it's not the same.  Is it?

Besides.  Imagine being a fly on the ceiling at Northsider Towers on a merry evening:  The electric fish tank we call television is blaring and flashing in the corner, Mrs Northsider  is busy knitting (scarves for Christmas presents at the moment) and yours truly is sat with my "Japs" cutting the stalks off so the birds don't  get a kick out of pulling them out of the ground with their beaks.  Don't  we know how to have a good time?  

So today I am going to harvest the last of the tomatoes from "Portugal" my plastic three hooped polytunnel friend and plant some "Japs" in a fish box where the Tom's lived.   I am also going to grow some outside and see which does the best.  Have any you keen gardeners/soil slaves ever transplanted onions like you can do with Leeks which are Alliums after all? Perhaps I just throw them outside in the fish boxes when the old currant bun (Sun) comes to visit next Spring?


Japs enjoying the Good Life.  Overwintering in "Portugal" the polytunnel.   It's  a good way of growing  onions and other vegetables especially if you use new compost and soil and helps alleviate diseases like "white onion" rot which Fish seems to have on last night's Gardener's World.  

When I had my allotments in Blighty I met an allotment holder who grew his cabbages in old paint tubs with holes drilled in the bottom and filled with compost.  He had inherited Clubroot or " Finger and Toe" disease.  It sounds like a second division goalkeeper coming to the end of his career and using the term for letting so many goals in!😊



I will be singing "Radar Love" by Golden Earring to them!

  1. We don't grow onions as I can't eat them. Although I love the flavour, they give me awful chest pain, a sort of heartburn, so I avoid them.
    We have just moved our pepper plants and the last tomato plant onto the windowsill in the spare bedroom, which gets most light. Now that the days are shorter and the temperature has dropped significantly, they will not do much out in the greenhouse. The peppers are already starting to turn red after only a couple of days over the radiator.

  2. Hi JayCee. I grow the winter onions because they grow through the winter and look good with their stalks growing through the snow. Our tomatoes seem to quickly redden when picked and placed in the kitchen. I think it must be the heat from the solid fuel range. Thanks.

  4. Hi Linda. I set some Spring cabbages but the slugs and snails devoured them. I use an old rear tractor tyre for a raised bed

  5. In Yorkshire, "Time To Plant My Japanese Onions" is code for "I'm feeling randy". What happens in Portugal stays in Portugal.

  6. Yes quite Mr Pudding. I see your beloved Hull FC are looking like promotion candidates? Who would have thought you would be surrounded with other sleeping giants in league one? It looks a good division with the likes of Ipswich, Sunderland and Wigan.

    1. Hull FC is a rugby league club but yes The Mighty Tigers have won their first four games with no goals conceded. Shame The Black and Amber Army cannot be there to see them!

  7. Christmas or "just" after Christmas new potatoes can be grown in a big pot in a greenhouse or polytunnel now. I would imagine it's warm enough to grow them outside on Poros?

  8. Did Tony the Tiger play for them YP? Keep eating the Frosties lads it's better than pasta and Jaffa cakes😊.

    I watch the EFL on Quest on Saturday nights. The pitches have improved beyond recognition. Shame there are no fans.

  10. Hi Briony. I use to have allotments in northwest England and I use to dig them over in Winter leaving the frosts to break down the rough soil clods. Southwest Ireland can be very wet and windy and you can't get on the plot and vegetables even onions sometimes rot. So I thought I will plant them four inches apart in homemade compost in fish boxes I found on nearby beaches and grow them in the polytunnel and maybe put them outside in late Winter/early Spring. Plus it's good to see vegetables growing in the polytunnel other than just my shrub cuttings. Thanks,

He carried the test and he said I have (Herpes) so went to another hospital for another test. My doctor prescribed some tubes  and cream which I started using, I use it for a while and I couldn't trace the infection and after a while it came back so I had no choice than to do research on some natural remedies there I saw a post about Dr Noah powerful herbs, I contacted him and purchase the medicine from him which I used for 2 weeks. On the 10th days of using it I couldn't have any trace of if I was not amazed hoping it will come back so that lead to my doctor for confirmation to my greatest surprise the result comes out negative, I was still a bit shocked I want for a month and still no trace then I called Dr Noah to appreciate his work in my life and I promise not to keep it to myself.

  13. My name is Timothy Eric,i am from USA . Its a pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr. USELU, but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try Dr. USELU, then i contacted him through his email when i contact him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with her to help me out. My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for check up after 3 weeks of taking the medication. i agreed with him i took this medication and went for check up after a month later , to my greatest surprise my result was negative after the treatment, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony.

  22. 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. Contact Dr. Mark now, he is a herbalist doctor, Dr. Mark has herbs that cures Hiv, Herpes, diabetics, asthma, hepatitis, STD, cancer, chronic, etc. Contact Dr Mark through his Email address on: blessedlovetemple@gmail.com Please share the good news to other people once you are cured.

  24. 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. Doctor Razor's Website : https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome or Reach out to Doctor razor via email : drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com WhatsApp +2349065420442
