Last year we grew too many potatoes (victims of a badly judged "buy 2 get 1 free" offer) and they were undersized and we still had lots in stock in March when they started sprouting. By contrast we ran out of onions in December (and shallots in November).

So this year we concentrated a bit more on quality in the potatoes and quantity in the onions.

Here are the results:

Charlotte potatoes - about 25kgs:


And the onions (with shallots at the back):


The dry weather is helping to season the onions and we should be able to start plaiting them into strings at the end of the week.

And, new this year, our Goutte d'Or fig has started producing some lovely sweet figs:
