Onions

Sorry about your onions.  I have had the same trouble with leeks which I only discovered today, and then noticed the chives which have spread themselves about, are also eaten.  I think it must be rabbits but didn't know they had a taste for onions!  It really is worth carrying on.  We grow companion plants for pests and find that strong smelling marigolds, etc, do keep the carrot fly away.  Try not to brush against the carrot leaves and try to sow so that you don't need to thin them and you should have success.  Moles have been a problem, especially in the lawn, but we battle on ....  Good luck.

Does anyone know the name of this plant?

Thank you everyone, especially Joe and Kate, as you are both so right.  Checked the identification photo and that is exactly it - Goatsbeard.  Obviously a wild plant, but very interesting, so I will keep it so long as it doesn't take over!

Thank you Joe, but I don't think so.  I have just been out and managed to take this photo of the flower itself.  They are nearly 'over' now, so that may help.  Kate, as you can see the flower is yellow and a little like a dandelion, certainly the seedheads are like massive dandelion seedheads and spread in a similar fashion.

Was interrupted by trying to upload photo and failing.  Sorry.  This plant is very like a dandelion but taller with thin grass-like leaves emanating from its stem.  The flower is like a "neat" dandelion and the seedhead is just beautiful.  Huge and very dainty.  Any ideas of its name and whether it is a wild plant?
