I'm not really sure of the 'correct' way, but I pull them when they are almost popping out of the ground and look good enough to use. Not very scientific, I know.

These onions had more growing to do, accidentally bought giant sets! But it was getting tight in my raised bed.

I let them go until the tops fall over, then pull them. If you were out of space then pulling them was the right thing to do.

Onion plans?

[–] ilovecheese@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

Nothing specific, we use onions in so many things! Will chop and freeze the bulk of them.

Those look great! What variety are they?

All I can remember is they were supposed to be red shallots. But ended up with giant white onions by mistake!
