Yeah, she's good at pulling flowers apart!Be prepared to wait a little longer. My youngest is 26 months and snapped the flowering top right off the onion I was letting go to seed the other night.
The worst part is that of the 7 onions I left to go to seed this year, that was the only one that flowered. And now I have nothing. With no onions surviving transplant/deluge this spring, I won't have onion seeds until 2013 unless by some miracle I can plant some that will survive the winter.
When were you digging them out? Is your soil wet? Onions will rot if they sit in wet soil, but they are "sweeter" if they have moisture. It's a balance thing.

My below ground plants are doing well. It's the poor tomatoes and peppers that are getting the
i got good broccoli heads forming, cabbage is forming up nice, got a good amount of green tomato's, banana peppers, jalapeno's, and super chili's, potato's, green beans and cherry tomato's. my cauliflower doesn't look like its doing much but this is my first year for it.
my blackberry bushes are covered, chickens ate the raspberries and blue berries (next year i will fence them in lol)
also i found a massive wild blackberry patch and black raspberry patch. i didn't even know was there (and i only have 2 acres lol) so many berries its not even funny. ate a good amount today and can't wait for more to ripen up
Fresh wild rasberry cobler with some ice cream....royalty only wished they ate that good
