Spray with that Scotchguard stuff you waterproof shoes with. Seals the mold out.

There will be a good few onion days with this haul!

Nothing specific, we use onions in so many things! Will chop and freeze the bulk of them.

All I can remember is they were supposed to be red shallots. But ended up with giant white onions by mistake!

Thanks! I'm pleased with them, good and strong!

I'm not really sure of the 'correct' way, but I pull them when they are almost popping out of the ground and look good enough to use. Not very scientific, I know.

These onions had more growing to do, accidentally bought giant sets! But it was getting tight in my raised bed.

I bet they'll taste great!

How did you guess?

Look you've been shot down so many times by so many people, but 'they're all wrong and I'm right' is your take away?

I'm beginning to think troll rather than misguided.

I'll say it loud so those at the back can hear too:

YOU CAN'T FIGHT RACISM WITH MORE RACISM!

It really is quite simple.

Blocking you seems like the best idea in this thread so far.

Absolutely we all have blind spots, I just think OP's blind spot is addressing 'white people' like none of us live with, and around many cultures, not just races.

If someone were to address my local Polish or Bangladeshi or Muslim or whatever community the same way OP is addressing 'white people' in this post I would call it borderline racist and in fact it would fit in OP's original 'don't do' list.

I appreciate it probably comes from good intentions, but generalizing how entire groups of people should change to suit another group of people is a slippery slope.

No, but the things they are saying, maybe inadvertently, are starting to seem that way.

Swap 'black' and 'white' in their do not do list. Does it sound racist now?

 

Not much luck with the purple ones.
