Hi All,

My onions are just starting to bulb up. Some
are the size of golf ball. Most are smaller.

The first freeze will be Wednesday night.

Should I just let them go over winter?

I think if you overwinter them, next spring they'll flower instead of
bulb up. Might as well just take what you can get ...

pick the biggest ones and eat them or let
them dry for storage and eat them when you
get to them. the rest you can lift and keep
in storage (let them dry first and then keep
them in a cool dry and dark location) until
next spring and plant them out again. some
may flower but the smallest ones will give
you a head start on them next season.

they are called starts. congratulations
you've grown your own starts and onions. :)

some you will likely leave behind even if
you try to harvest them all. or leave some
behind intentionally to see how they do. that
is how you learn... good luck and enjoy! :)

I pulled the biggest one and any that
were crowding each other. Left the
rest in to over winter.

I have yet to dry an onion. I just eat
the whole plant like a green onion.

I have two onions going on four years now in front
yard flower circle. They scape up each year.
Never thought to see if they have a bulb.

Course you usually can see the top of the bulb.
These have nothing sticking out. Maybe I will
cut off their scapes next year.
