Isn't that a lack of a cold spell? And I believe elephant garlic is 'meant'
to do that.

The onions by comparison have been well behaved and are fattening up
nicely. Trace of blight on the spuds though

No blight (touch wood) on my allotment so far. Nick was stunned that I have
unblighted tomatoes, apparently everyone else's have succumbed already. So
that's a thumbs up to the blight resistant strain I used, if only I could
remember what it was ...
(could have been 'shirley' - sure it wasn't 'ferline', cos I only had an
empty packet for them!)

Wonder if they were also protected cos they are growing 'under' the beans,
and the bean leaves may stop the fungus floating in ..
