Mine have all gone to seed - not enough water I suspect.

Mine look like they've been suffering for a bit, but have picked up again since the rain at the weekend.

Same as Elaine, mine have all bolted. I'll use them but they are not going to store very well.

The ones on the allottment 'mountainside' look very sad indeed and will be removed shortly. The ones in my sheltered garden are doing very nicely and are a joy to behold.

Suprised to hear some have gone to seed.

I was hoping that the rain might revive ours but they still look a bit sorry, some look ok but like Colin I doubt we'll have 'storers'. It's a shame, last years stored so well.

The onions look ok.

Let's see yer shallots Debbie ;)
