Sick onion
« on: June 05, 2009, 09:26 »
My onions and shallots are doing splendidly apart from a few bolters, but last evening I found one red all limp on the ground with the leaves and crown all mushy, any idea what the problem is peeps?

Hello Drizabone,
Slugs?  Sounds the way they leave Spring bulbs after a visit.
