My onions at the allotment are looking a little jaded all of a sudden. At the weekend they look fine, last night I have noticed some of the leaves have gone soft, started to wilt a little and have a dusting of white on them.
They were planted as sets in April. The bulbs have swollen but not quite full size yet.
My onions at home, planted a few weeks earlier, show no sign of a problem and are still healthy and green.
No mention of white rot was mentioned when I took on the site and I hope it has not got it as thet will mean the end of onion growing and I have over 100 leeks in the ground there as well!
