This has not been as wet a summer as last, but my onions make me think it is too wet. Many of them have the tops flopping over, and it is only August, but the stems not drying or thinning, and some have mushy layers in the bulb or the stem. A few have had the entire bulb turn to mush. I am picking some but was hoping some could dry out more still in the soil. Should I just harvest them and dry them out before storing them in my cool dark basement?
