My onions want to bloom. I know that they are not anywhere near large enough to harvest. Should I be cutting of those blooms to allow the bulbs to grow larger? Or, do they continue to grow, even though they are blooming?
I wont say it!
I wish I knew the answer to the onion question, but I don’t have a clue.
12. Q: Should I remove the flower stalks from my onion plants?
A: No. Once the onion plant has bolted, or sent up a flower stalk, there is nothing you can do to eliminate this problem. The onion bulbs still will be edible but probably will be smaller. Use these onions as soon as possible because the green flower stalk which emerges through the center of the bulb will make storage almost impossible.
