'Mushy' Onions from sets...Help!

12 years ago

As an "experiment" ...Last late fall I planted some yellow (Walla Walla?) sets. They came up fine and grew throughout our cool wet spring. A few week ago they put up flower shoots which I trimmed off. It is still cool here...today will be in the low 80's. OK, they still look good and are trying to bulb...however every one that I have pulled has a mushy immature bulb.

These are my questions...

1) Am I just being impatient and the bulbs will firm up given more time?

2) If not, what caused this? Like I said this was kind of an experiment.

I could use the space they are in, so if the crop has failed, I will pull them ASAP.

Thanks in advance!
