Prize onions.

These woppers were the winners in their class in the vegetable section. The guy who entered them wasn't happy with them as he said they weren't ripe ! If you look closely you can see that they are still growing because the stalk has risen up were it was cut. By the end of the weekend this bit had grown half an inch. His dad was a champion onion grower & this is his dads cup he has won!!

[Rick Schies]

Wow, they look quite perfect. I guess that's why they won :)

[Diana Moss]

His Dad must have passed on some tips to his son on growing onions. Its amazing how big they are

[Jennifer Jones]

Now they'd go a long way in a stir-fry .. or casserole .. or shepherd's pie ... Great shot!

[Judith Greenwood]

Wahey - thanks Pat - this is great stuff! Fancy that middle bit growing so fast. Cracking shot too with all the others in the background. Fave for me even without gas & air!!

So, an onion growers son hey - didn't realise it was a generational thing. Great looking onions - would be lovely in a salad.

[Giselle Lawler]

Love this - the story and the composition of those onions, and the colour. Beautiful.

[Phil Howcroft]

Pat, great POV and you certainly know your onions in Lancashire

I bet Joe Makinson would be proud of those two onions.

A french rosette again !!

[Barbara Bowman]

Are they edible or mainly just for the competition.
