Default Why dry onions and garlic?

Is it simply for storage reasons, or are there culinary considerations?
The reason I ask is that I have run out of last years onions and garlic
but my autumn sowings are looking good, can I use then?

Yes, we are already using our Garlic which has finished growing anyway and
we use the onions that have flower stalks as they won't keep.
