Ayla - I'm not sure what the problem with the Alliums is but the leaves look terrible just at the time they bloom. I cut them back every year so I can get decent photos of them without the horrible looking leaves.

Having grown onions before I do know rain can rot them and since they're the same family as Alliums the moist soil may be your problem.

I wouldn't dig in the area again. Just wait and see how the blooms are this year. Good luck.
