I've been growing onions for over 30 years, but this one is new on me.
A couple of days after planting my main onion bed, I went out to check on them and found half a dozen plants (out of 270) had "leaped" out of their holes and were lying close by. I assumed the rain the day before was somehow responsible, so I just stuck them back in the ground.
It rained again yesterday so I checked on the little fellas today, and lo & behold another 10 had tried to escape! They appeared undamaged, no nibbles on the greens or footprints in the bed, so I'm thinking it's not animals, but what could it be? They didn't just fall over - they were fully out of the ground and lying flat, some 6" away from their holes. My other onion beds are fine, just this one location has the problem.
Either there is some light-footed critter having fun with me or these onion plants think they can fly. Any ideas on what's going on here?
