My Uncle gave me some onions sets and shallots to put in, Autumn last year.
So I dutifully did and am now left with the problem of not knowing when to harvest!
I would ask but he's in hospital just now and awaiting ANOTHER heart bypass so this is obviously not a priority for him.
I have no idea of the varieties, only that they are white onions and not red ones. They seem to be doing ok, they have leaves at least but are the bulbs meant to poke out of the top of the soil a little or is that when they get bigger?

I don't know really, maybe its the variety trait, maybe its because they are a biennial and will be entering there second year, maybe because they are usually harvested before they have matured?
