Changeable temperatures in spring can trick your onions, and they may start to produce a flower stalk. But what should you do with bolting onions if you see them in your vegetable garden?
It is not an unusual issue when growing onions, but it can be frustrating to see. When an onion starts to bolt, which is usually the result of a late cold snap in spring, though a lack of water and nutrients can cause it, the best course of action is to lift and use it.
