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.


Onion Neck Rot then.
