I've never had problems with the onions (other than weed control) and am also growing organically.

Do you have good air flow through the fields? I'm up on a hill; slope on the farm itself isn't large, but it is enough to generally keep a bit of air moving.

Just out of curiosity, anyone else have fungus/blight problems with onion tops by late June? 

We are organic and always seem to.

I'm wondering if we are unique in this problem (we are near a river and are very humid) if the rest of you spray regularly.

Thanks to everyone sharing on this thread.
