Go the onion page and check when to plant onions in your climate zone, or google and research about growing onions.

Hi there, I planted white onions in May, they have not yet yellowed and the stalks have not fallen over- we're having a lot of rain fall early on and I am afraid they will rot if I leave them in the ground while it rains so much. Can I harvest them before they have yellowed or will they still mature correctly despite the rain? Any tips or advice would be much appreciated Thanks

It says plant seed Feb Mar and you planted May, that is the problem. Check to see how big they are, if a good size pull out. You be the judge, keep an eye on them, if they look like going rotten out they come.

I planted red onion seedlings in April. I was waiting for the tops to bend over, as I've read. But now they're flowering. When should I have harvested? Also. The necks are very thick.

I don't grow onions but it says 24-34 weeks until harvest. It is probably time to harvest if they are going to seed. Pull out and allow to dry.
