     pick the biggest ones and eat them or let   
   them dry for storage and eat them when you   
   get to them.  the rest you can lift and keep   
   in storage (let them dry first and then keep   
   them in a cool dry and dark location) until   
   next spring and plant them out again.  some   
   may flower but the smallest ones will give   
   you a head start on them next season.   
      
     they are called starts.  congratulations   
   you've grown your own starts and onions.  :)

     some you will likely leave behind even if   
   you try to harvest them all.  or leave some   
   behind intentionally to see how they do.  that   
   is how you learn...  good luck and enjoy!  :)
