    There is some controversy about allowing onion to bulge above the ground as they mature. The view is that they get larger, and have a less stinging flavour if exposed to sun.

    I have two rows of Yellow Spanish Onions, and have covered one row of bulbs with light mulch and earth, and the other has all the earth removed down to the beginning of the root.

    Both rows will be allowed to mature, and they will be judged as to size and taste, in an attempt to determine if the claims have any validity that is apparent.

    Some of the exposed bulb onions had soft necks so were pulled today, and placed in the sun to dry completely.
