Just had a look and a disease called 'Shanking' causes the leaves to yellow from the centre out. Cut open a bulb and there will be an evil smelling slime. No treatment - lift and burn the onions.
Oh Yuk! Will have a look inside tomorrow. Fingers crossed it's not 'cause at least then we can do as Snadger's did It's such a shame, as long as it's not the disease Lesley Jay looked up (thanks for that by the way) those people who go over there regulalrly can at least harvest and eat / use them but some plot owners haven't been near nor by for weeks and their entire crop will be wasted now its seeded.
