my winter ones are drying out now and the ones planted earlier in the year are coming long nicely.. so far only one of the red onions has bolted.. which made a change from last year when I had 1 that didn't bolt.. still time though :)

Ditto re Sadgit.

Winter ones drying nicely.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Have you got plenty of top growth? If so, I'd tend to be patient. OUrs have only really started to look like they're properly swelling in the last couple of weeks. The rain's doing it's stuff.

Cheers,

Adrian

My sets planted in early March are starting to fatten up. Some have not though. I had given them up for lost when the top growth fell over, but they are looking nice now.
