To be fair to the puny onions, they were part of an enormous batch of onions that I was sent by ?DTBrown as an end of season offer - at least double what I'd ordered. They sat around in trays for weeks until I squidged them in between some strawberry plants so they didn't have a healthy childhood.
Found it!!

I ordered some onions sets from DTBrown with their special BOGOF offer - buy any 2, get the cheapest free.
A 250g bag of sets = approx 80 sets so I expected to grow about 160 onions this year and that's going to be more than I need..
They've just arrived with a little note -
"As we are getting towards the end of despatches for onion and shallot sets, you may find a few rotten sets within the pack. This, unfortunately , is unavoidable at this time of year, so to help compensate for this, we're enclosing another pack to ensure you have plenty of quality sets to plant."
Space needed for 320 onions!!!
Can't fault DTBrown's customer service. Smile
PS They all look fine - no sign of rotting or sprouting.
