Have You Ever Seen An Onion This Big?

It's raining steadily and the garden is starting to look very lush. This Spring/Summer is going to be a great gardening season. But because of the rain and some writing commitments, I haven't spent much time in the garden in the past three days.

I miss it and plan to remedy the situation very soon. I always feel more centred when I spent part of day among green things. Even when I lived in the city, I had a garden when I could...

Meanwhile, one of my neighbours gave me this onion as a gift two days ago. Her garden has a bed full of onions just like this one...

No, I didn't do a close focus of the veg; it's THAT big. The same size as a cabbage she gave me. I really want to know how she did it, but she's not sharing:)

Or rather, she says it was due to excellent soil care and loads of manure. Maybe she's telling the truth and I'm just being stubborn wanting there to be a miracle "growth food" for the plant.
