Lots of my onions are rotten in the ground this year. Is this down to
the wet weather?

Have you got White Rot David? That's normally the only thing that causes
such to happen.

I just googled for White Rot, but it doesn't seem to match. Mine seem to
be rotting from the central stem outwards, rather than from the base
inwards. There is no sign of white fungus either.

It was wet here David, and both my Autumn planted and Spring planted
onions were fine, though I did get "rust" on my garlic which reduced the
quantity and quality of them.

Yes, that's the one! I fed it into Google and that is exactly what has
happened to mine. All the stems are soft and rotting, rather than drying
out. I guess it's down to the wet Summer we've had here. I've never had
that problem growing onions before.
