The supersweets in the bed with the torpedos are starting to bolt while the others are not. Anyone have any reason why this may be happening. The supersweets are starting to bulb up a bit in both beds, but I can't figure out why some are starting to bolt and others aren't.

I know I was takinging a chance with the supersweets, but why such a difference? They have both been exposed to the same weather.

Any clue anyone?

Thanks,
Kenya

My red and white onions from Dixondale bolted.....my browns didn't, but also didn't bulb either.....go figure....just one of those years I guess.

Among other great things about the pecularities of growing onions in the bay area, here's what "Golden Gate Gardening" says
"Gardeners want the biggest bulbs possible, so they plant as early as they can. or even start with partly grown onion sets. But if the seedlings have made plants with lower stems larger than a pencil in diameter when the grip of winter sets in in December, the plants are likely to bloom before they can bulb up."
