So I planted some onion slips last fall and pulled up all but 3 that I sort of forgot about and never died. 2 just recently started turning brown so I dug them up and ate them but the 3rd keeps growing and is about 3ft tall with a bloom that is starting to open. I'm assuming after it blooms and dies I can harvest the seeds? I tried to google it but there seems to be so many factors like if it's a hybrid (no idea) then the seeds could be sterile? I don't even remember where I got the slips from to be honest. I buy stuff from Walmart, Home Depot/Lowe's, bug nurseries, small mom and pop nurseries and even from people who grow things on craigslist, lol. So, do I HAVE to wait for the blossom to start browning before I clip it? Is the onion in the ground still edible? It's a red/purple onion if that makes any difference. I'll post a pic of the bloom in the comments.
