My Autumn planted onions are a good size, still growing and not yet
ready for storage. However would they be OK to eat? I know they will
not be poisonous but am wondering about their flavour. Thanks.

I recently pulled a couple out of the garden for dinner, as I had none
left in the fridge, and they were perfectly edible with good strong flavour!

As this is my first time growing onions (these were also autumn sets)
how will I know when they are ready to be pulled up and stored, or can I
just take them from the garden as and when I need them?

I take them as I need them and yesterday I dug the whole lot to dry off
indoors to avoid any pest/disease problems

Why not try one and see?
