Looks bad like rot from all of the rain I assume

Hasn’t really rained much here. We are only right about normal for the year so far.

Are the bulbs still

useable, Randy?

you'll know if they are usable when you get a look at them. a 10% loss of your total crop is not bad.

So I yanked the five or six plants that had noticeable symptoms.

I cut the stems off about an inch above the bulb, and three of them as you looked at the cut section, you could see that the entirety of that one leaf was “soft”.

I cut those bulbs in half, and the inner scales were slimy, although everything outside they appeared to be edible. Unfortunately, one looked perfectly fine when I cut it, so it’s sacrificed, but I’m assuming I can probably eat that one. I’m not sure how the other ones are going to look.

You could chop and saute them after you remove the undesirable areas then freeze them in small containers for later use in soups, taco meat, roasts, etc.

Would it do me any good to plant them in another spot next year? I can move them about 60 feet away, but that’s about as far as I can go.

if it is onion root maggots that caused the problem planting in another spot will help as will using row covers when you plant.

It actually looks a lot like Center Rot.
