Too little water and the plant dies, too much and the plant gets end rot and fruit split. So, try and keep a happy medium. Prune your plants by sucker re- moval. Also remove the lower 3-4 inches of branches. No leaves should touch the ground. Tie up your plants. You can’t have too many ties. No fertilizer now. Keep your bed weed free. Onions are ready for picking. Look for little finger size for good
