Onions are one of the few crops I have problems growing. When I start 
them from seed they grow to set size and remain. When I start with sets 
they remain the same. What do I have to do to grow a decent onion?

Carrots do very well in my garden, unless the slugs wipe them out. I 
just harvested the majority of a 4x6 foot patch on the 12th of January.
