I have a couple hundred onions in the ground, and today I noticed some of
them are putting up flower stalks. Why? The weather has not been abnormally
wet or dry, no hot spells, no dry spells. Could it be that the type of onion
I planted are just not well suited to this area? Or did I plant them too
early? I'm also guessing that the onions putting up a flower stalk will not
form a bulb?


Onions must be matched to your latitude. Long days = long day onion,
short days = short day onion. What did you plant, variety and method,
sets or plants?

Yes, snap off the flower stalk.
