18 Feb “A 5lb onion.”

Over the last 20 years and through involvement with the Knowsley Flower Show, my wide interests have developed into growing and showing prize vegetables, particularly onions. This includes a 5lb onion, shallots and 0.5lb onions. The competition is fierce. I have shown and entered competitions for virtually everything, cabbages, marrows, cauliflowers, apples, pears, figs, chrysanthemums, sweet peas, to name just a few. At one point I ran five greenhouses in my back garden and also owned an allotment in Whiston.
