They should be fine they can take a lot.

Funny you say this though. I planted 100+ onions last weekend not thinking any in-climate weather was coming and woke up to about 4 + inches of snow the next morning. Mine are fine.

Hi
I have an onion plant since December. Does anyone know when it will be ready to harvest? There are more plants growing from the same plant. But I didn't see any flowers. Anyone knows? Or tips?
Thank you

If I'm remembering right, onions take about 4 months to mature, but they are edible for quite some time before that. Could be wrong on the maturity time though...

Ok. They get flowers right?
I hope I get onion from it.
Thank you
