As to the onions shrinking into themselves, you have to remember that the onion 'set' when planted is only a food store for the growing onion which grows up the centre then eventually begins to swell itself. What you are seeing is the 'husk' of the original foodstore which it doen't need anymore once its made its own roots and topgrowth. |
Snadger thanks for the information i was going to go and pull them all up for the compost heap
really thought that they weren't working, same as the garlic i'll leave them be for now though i'll transport the garlic into the new beds hopefully they'll survive
