Selecting onions for seed production

[diane]

A well-done article with pictures that explain how overwintered onions are selected for seed production.

The shape must be right, the neck must be tight, no premature sprouting or rooting. The onion is Rossa di Milano.

excellent introduction to the topic! thank you!

while i don't grow too many onions from seeds the few i let flower are worth it every time. the bees love them and i can spend way too much time watching to see what the diversity of species is in my area. chives, onions, bunching onions all seem to be great attractors.
