Yes it is.
But there is more to it than just that.
Onions are the most complicated plant I have ever grown trying to make them get big.
There is a lot of hog wash information out there you have to pick through it.
Like cutting the tops off to make them get bigger this is simply not true.
Right now I have some but not all that have 12 leaves on them and no doubt will have 13 or more.
many have 9 and 10 leaves.
Those are going to be some good sized onions.
I just hit them again today with more fertilizer.
