Onions
Question:
I am growing onions for the 1st time, they are now starting to produce flower heads, and do I need to deflower them for bigger bulbs?
Answer:
Generally onions should not flower and if they do they tend to produce smaller onions. Remove the flowers now and hope that they have not been affected too badly.
