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 |

Can reduce the amount of water given now too. |
