I am growing purple onions, my first onions ever.
They have huge wonderful green tops and a few have started to grow that
sprout with a flower on top. Sorry, can't reember what it is called.
I understand you are to cut off or bend over that sprout so the energy goes
into the onion. If I leave it on, what will it become?
Also, is there any reason to NOT cut some of the green tops to use for onion
chives? Will it hurt the progress of the onion?
How long do they take to bulb up?
Thanks, all.
