Default harvesting onions


"Andy" wrote in message
...
I have a crop of onions with large bulbs.
The tops are still green.
One onion has put out a flower, which I broke off.
Is it OK to bend all the tops over now to stop further flowers setting and
to get the onions ready for harvesting.
Thanks
Andy


yes bend over the tops will encourage extra growth into the bulb. Can reduce
the amount of water given now too.
