winter onions
 

I planted some over winter onoins around october of last year for the first
time.
How do I know when they are ready to harvest as I understand that they are
expected to be quite small?
Do they like onions ready in august have their leaves turn yellow and drop?
Or is there any other indication.

Many thanks for your advice in advance.

They are roughly the same size as summer onions, only they are ready
earlier. Mine are about ready now and I pick them as required even if they
are still growing
