should I pull up my onions
"Andy" wrote in message
... I have about 60 red onions in the ground with many of the tops now fallen over but still green. We have had a lot of rain this week so should I pull up the onions to stop them rotting? They are in a raised bed about 20cm high and are sitting on top of the soil with just the roots in the ground. Thanks Andy well you could start pulling any that are rounded out & clearly look ready - otherwise wait & see if the tops start yellowing. sometimes they won't round until the last minute & indeed sometimes they don't at all, for that matter. unless it's ridiculously wet, they shouldn't rot (unlike my strawberries, grr). but from a seasonal perspective, they should be ready now or pretty soon. kylie |

Thanks Andy 2 years back the red onions did nothing until a good feed in November. The bottoms filled out nicely then. |
