jok 3,436 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Right you guys. I've had enough problems with my onions but now it seems I have another, and not just me. My Kelsies have started going brown to yellow, with a dimpled mottling on the tubes. I've opened a few up expecting some form of maggot or bug but nothing evident. I don't know at this stage whether it affects the bulb but have to say that within 2 days they look less than healthy.just an indication, sets I put in much later don't seem affected and my leeks all look good. Any ideas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
