Do you mean they are going to seed?...ie a stalk coming out of the middle with a seed head on it? If so, cut these out 'cos they will drain your onions. :)

Mine have these seeds heads on & are well over 3 foot high now, When you say "cut these out" do you mean cut them off?

Cheers

Yes - chop them off. These won't store, so use them first.
