Maincrop onions hardly grown

Am I the only one who has had maincrop (mixed) onions hardly grow this season ? I have had bigger in the past so perhaps lack of sunshine ?

Ditto. The red onions are a disaster as most of them barely doubled in size from the bulb planted out in March.

Oh, that's not too bad then. It must be the weather which is still pants. So much for the big heat wave we were getting. Lasted a week.

My onions grown from sets went to seed so whilst I was on holiday so I cut the heads off and they seem to be doing very well,most of them are approx 3 to 3 1/2 '' in diameter.
The ones I grew from seed didn't go to seed at all and are nearly all approx 4'' diameter.
It's my first year growing anything so I don't really know if this is good but I'm quite happy with the results so far

Can't understand it Hubbali.

Mine from sets (Stuttgarter) were 3 -4 inches across, and the seed sown ones mostly that size too.

Weed free throughout, fed with Blood Fish & Bone, and watered twice when we had had no rain for a week - good soak.

Had to cut off the leaves due to onion leaf mildew etc about a month ago - pulled them up today

They were shaded by my courgettes in the last few weeks.
