| I grew walla walla onions for the first time this year. They have been doing good, bulbing nicely, and a couple weeks a ago they fell over and turned brown. My problem is that a week ago we had an early mild frost (dropped to 30 degrees, although I did cover the onions) and now the onions are starting to put out green growth again. Are they trying to flower? Should I harvest them now or wait for them to fall over again? Thanks |

| Harvest them now. I think you're right that they're trying to flower. |

| I *think* Walla Wallas should be harvested from June-August, and they do like they're going to flower. Also, (in case you didn't know) they don't keep very well, so break out your recipe book & use those beauties soon! Nice harvest BTW. |

| In the future, when the leaves fall over and start to yellow they should be harvested and cured. Rodney |
