Q.Onions

Zone Sacramento, CA 95828 Zone9 | wickstrum added on April 30, 2017 | Answered

I have grown onions before but it’s been a while. I’m use to stopping all water in April
they when they are turning brown I pushed the tops down on top of the plants, I’ve always
harvested in June. The question is we had late rains so everything got a lot of water so
I couldn’t stop the watering because of Mother Nature. My onions don’t seem to be forming
the bulb yet what have I done wrong or how do I save my onions?

Thanks Lyla Wickstrum(Sacramento)

The problem is most likely due to all the rain and irregular weather but this article may help:
