I'm afraid this may be one of those disappointing onion years. My plants look great but they are almost all forming thick necks which means small bulbs and poor keepers.

http://www.durgan.org/URL/?YVZHF 8 April 2013 Walla Walla Onion
Thirty four Walla Walla Onion seedlings were planted in the outdoor garden.These onions were started from seed in the greenhouse on 9 January 2013. Onions can withstand some cool temperatures.These onion get large and don’t have a significant bite, almost as mild as a sliced tomato.. They do not store well. The ground temperature at six inches was 10C. Onions were planted at 9 inch centres, and at the same depth as in the pots. The planting was accomplished without disturbing the roots. Pictures depict the operation. The plants are doing well, surviving a bit of snow, hail and much rain and cool weather. |

Despite what I thought were necks too thick most of my Bermudas have made fairly good onions. The biggest being about 5 inches across and with some only 2 inches. My various yellows and reds have only made a few good bulbs as expected.
