The recent blast of inferno-like conditions has hit us at a rather handy moment, as we've hoiked up all that remained of our autumn-planted allium crops and got them in the shed drying out. From past experience, autumn-planted onions don't store anything like as well as their spring-planted counterparts (why is that, by the way?), but we don't have enough of theme for this to be an issue- we'll have scoffed them all sharpish.
