I don,t think even that would keep them up this long. They should be in here with these

Lovely sight - we feel lost without our onions.

Maybe we'll start again in 8 years time. Maybe not!!

Silly Question but what do you mean by "fall Over"???? not started growing anything yet so still learning

[Barnowl]

I read somewhere that if they won't bend of their own accord you can bend them over yourself - but I can't remember why you might want to  :)

Being the amateur gardener that I am if I had grown any I would probably have been crying if they fell down, would have thought they had died or had a disease. Learn something new every day ;D ;D ;D

Its just what i was always told by the olduns. Let your onions fall over naturaly. That is when it is ready for pulling

For TIM, and anyone else that has Onion White Rot.
I was told a method which you can use if you have white rot in your soil.
Make a 8" raised bed  frame. Mark out where your frame is going to go and and make a low mound of soil and place a complete sheet of black polythene which is bigger than your frame over it  The reason for the mound is to allow drainage out of the sides of the raised bed. Next place your frame on the polythene. Now the hard part, import new soil and fill your raised bed in which to grow your onions.
The important part is you must have separate tools and bucket full disinfectant to stand them in. Never use the tools you use on your garden in the onion bed.
I have never had to try it but i don,t see why it should not work.
