Most onions have a 270 day growing cycle so towards the end of that time the leaves will swell. when this starts it is best to pull them all because the rest won't be far behind. Cutting the swelling leaves off is not a good idea because that will allow rain to enter and lay on the top of the onion causing rot.

The pic on the right shows the swelling leaves they are the rounder ones I am about to pull these and process the round ones . The rest I will dry on costco baker racks
