When do got determine it's time to pick the onions? We have them in the ground for the first time this year

[–] ilovecheese@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.
