Pulled my first onions today. I have put them on top of the strawberry cage to dry. It seemed like a good place.

Were they all ready Sharon? Some of those look as though the stems haven't flopped over yet.

I'd say they could have had a few more weeks in the ground. Mine are Sturon and they are way off being ready.

Hiya, my first time growing onions, when are they ready to pull out of ground?
Also some kids kicked a football on to them and flattened some of the stalks, will they be ok still?
I cried when i saw my flattened onions, was this a bit over the top? ive nurtured them since i planted them as sets and to see a football on them upset me.( im a girl)

All the tops were bent over. The tops were actually more yellow than they appear in the pictures.
They taste great.
