Title: Onions bolting??
Post by: radiohead on May 23, 2012, 07:11

Last spring most of my autumn planted sets bolted....I put it down to the hot dry conditions. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a few of last autumns sets had already gone to seed. ......cant really put it down to heat and drought this spring :nowink:......maybe too cold and wet ::)??.........no more are showing any signs of bolting at the moment...have I got away with it do you think?
