tanors ty and good luck. I am guessing you have the heat that onions love. If you space the plants right and never let the plants go dry at any time. keep weeding them when the weeds are small so you dont disturb the roots. Feed them well you will be rewarded with big sweet onions.Lack of moisture produces small hot onions.

If you can water with a drip type soaker hose, onions don't like over head watering. If you must overhead water the it;s best to water at least two hours before dark so they can dry. I don't know why rain is ok but watering over head isn't at least thats the way it is here. This may not be true in your area ask around. Ernie
