grew some georgia sweet onions this year from the small bulbs that i guess are called scallions from Lowes....anyways they all grew great, just like growing a regular bulb like a daffodil or something, but i found that alot of the green foliage they put out just always seemed to want to fall over instead of standing up strong....then the ends end up getten eaten up like over night and the plants just stayed weak....now some of them however stayed pretty stout and are now flowering with each one putting out a big ol cluster of white flowers, so they seem to be doing well.......
the onions that were fallen over real bad and kinda weak lookin, i dug those up to see just how big the bulbs were getting if even growing at all, and they actually were getting big, no signs of bugs or anything like that, but all the green growth above the soil was pretty much dead, so i didnt see the point in leaving them...hopefully the plants that are flowering are going to be some nice big onions, but does any one know why the growth above the soil fell over so much, or is that just kinda normal?? never grown onions before, so not too sure what kinda stuff plagues them so just a little curious.....the onions i picked by the way were really good tasting, just pretty small....Thanx for any input or advice....
