Time for winter onions or as they are normally called Japanese Onions. The two I used in the video are Troy and Senshyu Yellow from Taylors Bulbs https://www.amazon.co.uk/Onion-Senshyu-Yellow-Taylors-Bulbs/dp/B005HO9OWE

A few folk have asked about the equipment I use to record my videos and how I get the buttery smooth shots – I’d like to say it’s me but alas it’s not me – it’s the equipment.
Below is what I use:
Main Camera: Panasonic HC-VX1 4K: https://amzn.to/2RHRJAo This never lets you down and produces great wide stunning shots in 4K
Second Camera: GoPro Hero Black 7: https://amzn.to/2PufdHg This IS THE camera if you have an allotment. It is by far the best and easiest to use – video is stunning!!!
Third Camera: Note 9: https://amzn.to/2L588MV If I have no camera and need video… this is a great video caperture phone – 4K is stunning.
Main Mic: RØDE VideoMic Pro+ Microphone – Black: https://amzn.to/2PsuTe2 The quality is unmatched.
Second Mic: Rode Smartlav+ Lavalier Microphone: https://amzn.to/2L3DBPq Back up if the wind is too great
Indoor Mic: PR 40: https://amzn.to/2PrZI2F Omph – if you are going into this for real – audio is even more important that video. This mic is a dream sound.
27” iMac: https://amzn.to/2B1VVE6 I have used Macs all my life – not one has let me down. Rock solid with rock solid software. I use Apple’s Final Cut Pro
Main Tripod: K & F Concept Tripod: https://amzn.to/2L3HKmw I have tried all so many tripods some way way more expensive. This one is great, lightweight… but opens tall enough to still get me in the shot and I am 6” 4”!
Second Tripod (for GoPro Hero 7) Joby GorillaPod SLR-Zoom: https://amzn.to/2L5vRMS This is the idea tripod when in allotment as you can stick it anywhere and record great shots
Light: Neewer 176 LED 5600K: https://amzn.to/2B5Dy0U I use this all the time now great for dull days (we get lots of those).

Lovely vid, my onions went in the Sunday before last.
Hello Tony, I have never tried Troy before….Shakespeare are my choice this year. Like you I like to get the onions out ASAP as I need the space 😀😱👍. Can recommend Heat Treated set if you grow them in the spring 👍
you never hurt yourself on the ladder, so I think I can be forgiven for laughing………………..brian
Don’t take this in a bad way, but you remind me of a gardening Glen McCrory. Originally from Durham myself so it isn’t an bad thing, just moved a way so the accent sticks out more now. Good videos pal.
