I'm surprised to see that my shed actually looks quite organised here! Whenever I step in the door it's seem to be complete chaos. I've been stringing onions today and putting the rest out to dry. I've also cleaned up the shallots ready to store. Thanks for all your comments - I'm always so thrilled that you've taken the time to look and comment especially when it seems to have been all vegetables and flowers lately.
Three good things
Plenty to eat when others have so little
Lots of rain today which gave me time indoors to catch up on the housework

There is something about a shed that is so comforting...love your onions hanging & all the necessary stuff for the garden, it does look very organised Judith!
Your shed has such a homely industrious look about it, and seeing those strings of onions brings back memories o the Breton onion man coming round on his bike carrying strings of onions around his neck to sell .his onions in the village . We never bought any as we had a good veg garden & Dad had strings of onions of our own hanging in the shed !! You've brought back happy memories to me ,Judith !
@eyesmile It's not a silly question at all. I've learned over the years what to do. First I leave the tops to fall over before I pick them. Then I lay them all out on a flat surface in the shed t olet them dry. Then I cut most of the dried tops off, leaving about 3 inches to tie them with. Then I string them and hang them up in a dry place. They will (should) keep like this until next Spring! The French always string their onions - I don't think I do it properly. I reckon of you google 'how to string onions' it will probably tell you!
@busylady Thank you....I love that the French do it. Then I must...hahahaha! I love everything French (must be that 1/4 French blood I have)....thanks for taking the time!!
I wish my shed looked a tidy as this! Mine isn't really a proper shed but a lean to at the back of the garage just to store my tools but it's not big enough and always looks higgledy piggledy! Really nice colourful composition Judith. I've just been so busy that I've hardly had a minute to comment but hopefully I will catch up soon
