Noticed a few of my giant onions are producing flower stalks....they still very small onions, do I have to dig the flowering ones up, or can I still keep them in the ground....:) :)

I remember this last year somewhere, but cant find it...LOL.

So please can someone remind me.. x

we snapped them but left them in the ground, don't get any bigger but they get used as we need an onion :)

This very thing happened to one of my onions yesterday and took the good advice and snapped the offending bulb off, :)

Snap them off then use the bulbs promptly.

As said, snap off, as it will not grow any more or store. :( ;D ;D ;D
