Even the covered ones, because (a) one of the covers developed a large gaping hole a 4-6ish weeks ago that I never bothered doing anything about, and (b) the other covered area I had removed the cover for a week or twoish a while ago (because I think it too had broken) before deciding to put back the cover. So I'm pretty sure the leek moth got all up in both of the covered onion beds.
But yeah, basically all onions look awful with thoroughly dead/dying "green"s (more like "brown"s). And, a surprising amount flopped over / got the crick in the neck which means they won't grow any more, yet they're very small. Harvested some of the worst today. I mean, there's still a mini harvest as they did bulb up to varying extents, but definitely small small small. Some others not yet harvested are relatively bigger but still doesn't look like any will grow to nice sizes.
So! Next year I will grow all onions under proper cover for the whole season. (Except maybe one foot uncovered as a comparison.)
