Ever wonder how to save onion seeds after they bolt? Harvest stalks when they are dry and brown. Place seed heads in a paper sack and let them dry for several days. The seeds should fall out into the bottom of the bag.
Store them in a cool, dry place, and you’ll have seeds ready for planting next season! 🧅

Black onion seeds are used in Indian cooking.😊
💚👍
Too late for me. I didn't know how or when to do this😢. 💔
I just saved one onion flowers seed and then found three in my friends’ garden and asked for them too. Im wondering when you might start these seeds? They are short season onion seed for my southern garden, and Im in a hot summer climate zone 9 similar to yours.
Thank you!
We are doing this this year
Wow 😳 we can grow onions from seeds ❤
❤
You can make pakoda with onions flower. Make a batter using gram flour, salt,turmeric and dip onion flower and deep fry until golden brown. Enjoy
And after harvesting the seed, use the dried blossom to make a dried flower arrangement ! 😊
You shouldn't really save seed from one that bolts prematurely, though, as then you are selecting for onions that will have a tendency to bolt. But it is great saving your own seed.
"If They're Black, They're ready to harvest" Hmmm…. I believe I heard this statement on diffrent situation before 🤔
I left mines too long and now they are starting to make the actual onions from the top of the green onion treee. What do I do please?
If I cut the head and plant will it grow ?
The ones that drop on the ground make extra onions😊 its a win, win!
😄😁 mine just did first time growing onions
I got through once with onion flowering n turning into seeds. Not so fortunate again
