    First time growing onions, Not sure if these are ready to harvest as the stalks / leaves are still green and not yellowing. I am quite happy to leave if they are going to get bigger. The largest are approx 2.25 inches in diameter.
    Any thoughts on this?

      They look like they are still growing to me, I'd leave them for now.
      I wait until the neck goes soft and the tops fall over.
