I am growing Australian Browns which I grew inside green house and planted out.They are making flower stems but the onions aren't ready to pull out yet.Can I leave the flowers to grow or must I cut them off.

Sounds like your soil wasn't fertile enough to produce an onion bulb. The plant is going to seed already.
