onions are showing...you can see the bulb. can I cover the bulb to promote more growth and to keep them from the sun and other elements. Or is this ok

Congrats! My onions are taking forever to bulb up. It's perfect to just let them push up and sit 1/2 way in, 1/2 way out of the Mel's Mix. Very Happy

I was wondering the same thing. Also the leaves do not stand up. This is my first time growing onions. Should I be concerned.

somewhere i have a link showing how i grow onions--i let them pop up as much as they want then as they fill out i uncover them all the way to the roots. this allows them to cure on their own when the time is right. i'll try to find that link when i get back on my home computer.

I agree. I check them when I'm watering and run a finger around the bulb to push more soil away. I never did that before and had small onions. Now mine are getting reasonably large.
