You can ofcourse pick them anytime during the process for eating or seasoning and even cook and eat the cut tops. You can leave them in ground over winter as long as you provide a good mulch cover and pick all winter or next spring or the following year etc... onions are a crop that can go on and on.the most important rule is to not let them go to seed unless you want seed for a new crop Pam,
