The onions are growing away nicely now and have put on a lot of weight since planting out. I have noticed tho that the onions behind the enviromesh are growing much better then those without it, so this weekend I will buy some more to finish the job off.

The largest of my onions has decided to go double necked which means it will split like a shallot, this wont matter as it should still reach quite a size and will be heavier than my single onions so might make it for the heavy onion class. I don't grow for the heavy onion class and its not well contested at the local shows so we don't bother, but last year a split onion won so who knows.

If you are interested in growing the heaviest onion then kelsea onions is not the choice, even tho they reach a big size they are grown for quality aswell as size, you should grow Ailsae seedlings that you can buy from http://www.exhibition-seeds.co.uk . From past experience there customer service is rubbish and delivery time useless and half the time they fob you off with some rubbish about everything died so we cant send your order, but maybe worth a shot next year if your interested.
