When are onions ready to be picked ??? When the tops start falling over and turning yellow or drying up. If they are going to seed, knock them over so they will go dormant, otherwise will mess up the onion. I've already picked mine, most were fully dormant plus our temp was 106 so the onions were virtually cooking in the ground anyway.

How to Harvest and Cure Your Onion Crop If some of your onions have sent up flower stalks, you can just leave them be. The leaves around the stalk will still wither naturally when the onion is ready for harvest, so you don’t have to bend over the stalk. I don’t recommend cutting it off, because it could introduce bacteria into the onion during the curing process.

You can store them for up to 1 to 2 years. Keep in mind that onions cross-pollinate readily, so the seeds will probably not be like to the parent plant unless the plants have been isolated.

How to Harvest, Cure and Store Onions Pungent onions that will be stored for the winter need to be cured for two to four weeks. Leave them spread out in a single layer. Warm (75-80 degrees F), dry and breezy is ideal. As the onions are curing, their necks will gradually wither and the papery skins will tighten around the bulbs. Once the necks are completely tight and dry, and the stems contain no moisture, you can use scissors to trim the roots off the bottom of each bulb.
