    Hi guys, i have some onion sets growing, and they are doing well, but they are not swelling at the bottom yet, some are 30mm thick and i would have thought they would swell by now. Is this normal please

    Hi there.

    This is quite normal. At this time they will be 'making leaf'. Maybe in another month or so(?) they will start to swell. Have no fear:)

      Why are some of my onions apparently growing through their bottoms?
