green onion questions

17 years ago

I have recieved some mix info about harvesting green onions, I planted my sets fairly close together so I could thin them by harvesting green onions and the ones that are left could be left to grown bulb onions.

I haven't harvested anything yet. I was about to today until I got a little confused, because I read that when the plants started to flower they were undesirable to use for large onions.

If they start flower buds, harvest those first as they do will not grow good mature onions. Green onions can be pulled anytime they are large enough for your use.

If you want green onions try bunching onions from seed. $3 and you have a life time supply. Try kitazawa seed company if your interested? I use to grow onions from sets but not so much any more.
