Hi Songbird,

These are what my green onion flowers look like now.
They are 2 to 3" balls. Is it time to shot off the
top 12"?

i'd let them go a bit longer, when those green
pods start splitting open then you will see some
black seeds. that is when i normally would cut
off the flower head and put it in a box top to
finish drying.

Thank you!

You remarked about bees liking these things, every
flying bug goes after them!

Does the plant die after I harvest the tops? Or
does this happen every year?
