How Can I Keep My Onions Upright Without Buying Expensive Supports?
Asked by SunnyGardener92
I've been growing over 50 onions in my raised bed, and they're looking healthy. However, I'm concerned about the foliage flopping over and touching the soil. I thought about investing in some large flower stem supports, but that might get pricey. What are some techniques to keep my onions upright without breaking the bank?

Honestly, it’s pretty normal for onion foliage to flop as they mature. Don’t stress too much about it! Once they’re ready to harvest, just lift them, let them dry for a few days, and then store them. They’ll be fine!

HappyOnionLover: The bulbs haven't really started forming yet though, nowhere near ready to harvest. Thanks for the reply!
