I've lost half of mine in previous years to the snow, but that's hardly been a problem this year.  Is the ground very wet?

Yes.

really disappointed.The soil drains quite well so don't think it is that.

Oh well,back to the drawing board.

Probably the warm weather has made them stay around instead of flying off to warmer climes.  Decided to save their airmiles.

We've given up on onions completely,they seduce you with lush growth then rot before your very eyes  >:(

I haven't been to my plot since about the 17th December so don't know how mine are doing. I hope they'll be in full swing but if I can get up there this weekend I'll know for certain.

Ours are that well developed, I'm hoping we don't get really severe conditions or we may have to cover them  :)
