Hi Arwyn.
Basically, when the foliage dies down. With onions (assuming they were planted this year), around september. Garlic, probably late july/august.

Cheers...freddy.

 

I planted mine (onion and garlic) last Autumn and they have survived the winter, yay, but that's what I understand too that when the foliage dies down dig them up but leave them on the surface of the soil to dry out.

 

i planted mine about 3 weeks ago, when should i be harvesting them
thanks

is that to use them for seeding or do you have to do that with them. as i have onion and garlic.
thanks

 

Think it's before you eat them not anything to do with seeding

 

thanks
