Thought that meant they were close to maturing but that point isn't due for another 40 days or so. could it be a sign of damage? Its only the tips down about 3cm.

Thanks. Will do that tomorrow, stuck at work all day today. will loosening the soil with a hoe be sufficient?

Yellowing of the leaves can also be the first sign of disease (white rot?) Try getting a hold of the leaves and giving a light tug. If the set comes out of the ground and have very few roots with white fur around the bottom, suspect the worst!
Hopefully a loosening of the soil and a bit of a feed witll put them to rights though!My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order

My over-wintered onions are similar - yellowing bits from the tips downwards about 3cm or so. They're in pots though, so I'm wondering if I should do anything differently? I've tried to be careful with watering so I'd be surprised if it's that. Maybe they need feeding, I wonder?
