I havent been able to plant any onions or garlic this year due to the ground being frozen, but quite a few of the onions I planted in spring are still there - they didnt do much in the summer and I left them to go to seed, but now they have popped up again with loads of new shoots. Are they ok to overwinter or should I dig them up when I get a chance? I think they are Red Baron.
Leave them............. that is the whole purpose of sewing them
Granted some may be frosted but you ainta gonna do nowt else with the land for a bit Is Ya?
A stitch in time? ;D
Onions are biennial, so they tend to send up flower shoots in the second year. 2011 will definitely be their second year if they were sown in 2010. You can probably use them as young oniony green shoots in spring, but the stems and bulbs tend to get hard and unusable later on. I'd take them out, or maybe leave just a few only,
