Pam,

If you want your onions to mature into dry onions, break those seed pods now.

Just grab the stalk and bend it and break it. If you leave them they will make

seeds and your onions will become too strong to eat. You can indeed harvest in

this stage. The onions will be tasty, but you cannot store them at this stage in

their development. When the stocks fall over, you can dig up the onions. the

stocks do not have to be completely dry. After you dig up the bulbs, leave them

out in the sun for a couple of days. Do not wash before storing. Just rub off

any dirt. You can store your onions Melody style. Check out her video using

panty hose.

question for EW or whoever

I don't know when to harvest onions. I have a few that are putting up those

wonderful seed pods that look like the top of russian churches. Should I be

harvesting my onions now, or only the onions that are starting to " flower "

or what?

Thanks,

Pam

Thanks, EW, I'll go break those seed pods now. I definitely want to store,

since I have around 100, LOL. I so appreciate this information!
