Re: Onions
Onions go to seed because it's too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, a day with a 'y' in it, excess solar radiation, ill-fated horoscopes, the Russians, aliens, elves, bad vibes, soil too sandy, soil too clay-y, and the coming apocalypse. Avoid all of those and you'll have no problem.

Re: Onions
Oh no he isn't! I may now be restricted in activity, but I still grow a lot of rhubarb, the overwintered garlic was a triumph, the chillis are growing nicely and a host of pot herbs are beavering away like good 'uns. Oh - and the runner beans are about to be inserted into the very tall tubs just out...

Re: Turnip wine ( and others)
It's what I've always wanted too, Bernard. It sounds well worthwhile so, despite my earlier misgivings, I think I may give this one a go.

Re: Turnip wine ( and others)
Well, we're still waiting for Bernard's taste test. It's still a possibility that it was truly wonderful and Bernard is whooping it up in Nirvana.

Re: No Bees?
Well, I hate to go against the general trend, but we have loads of bees already - particularly very large and noisy bumble bees. There's also lots of stuff flowering, so they seem happy.

Those super-power water pistols work a treat on cats, too.

Anywhere in Britain except the Isle of Wight if I remember the book correctly. Don't forget to top 'em early.

I'm surprised to hear that you don't grow your own seaweed, Tony.

Re: Some pictures
It all looks immaculate, Tony (as I would expect).
But where's the swimming pool and bar?

Re: Curiosity/Armageddon
I've though about this for a while. I think I'd carry on doing exactly what I'm doing, not altering a thing. I think I'm probably more contented now than ever before - why change my ways?
