Default harvesting onions

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.



Thanks Loosecanon :-)
