It must get have been the very hot weather you guys had in the uk recently might have confused some of them, did the ground dry out ?

March and April was very stressful on plants prone to bolting, I watered daily during the hot weather and still some of my onions went to seed. Sometimes the urge to be a parent is just too great for them. Smile

Quite possible Can though that's a thing that is very rare in this area, but hopefully when I am faced with the same conditions next year I will cope with it better  Rolleyes
