Why don’t my onions have balls?

Couldn’t resist the pun on that one :0)

In all seriousness, I pulled one of my onions today to see how it was doing. The stalks look great, they are about 18 inches tall, but they are not forming round balls yet. The package says 110 days, which means I should have been harvesting them around mid-March. What is going wrong? Did I plant the wrong time of year?

I believe in getting a breath of fresh air. I believe in getting my hands dirty, and letting my children get theirs dirty too. I believe in understanding where our food comes from. I believe in wind, rain, sunshine and above all, a force greater than any human mind can imagine. I believe in stopping to smell the roses — or the dahlias, verbenas, lilies, rosemary’s, heck, even the tomatoes!
