The first year I did onions all the whites bolted, :( so the next year I stuck with yellows and reds, yellows were good ;D while the reds were very small, last year most of the onions on our site were not very good. This year my wintering onions were v good ;D and the summer yellows and shallots are fatterning up nicely, ;) but again the reds are small in comparison, most are golf ballish size but no bolting, he says. ;D ;D ;D
