Harvest when the leaves are tall, upright, and green. You're only eating the portion of the plant you see above the soil, so when that looks like something you want to eat, snip it off and eat it. There's no need to dig up the whole plant, just cut leaves from the outside.

I've had good result in getting spring onions to germinate from seed in spring autumn & winter but NOT summer. I have come to the conclusion that the Newcastle NSW summer is just too hot for them

Put a packet of spring onions through a cold wash by mistake in a pocket. Left them on top of the w. machine a few days - they all sprouted in the packet.

Last week I planted out some spring onion seedlings and within a few days something appears to be eating them from the top down. It almost appears as though they have been cut with a knife or scissors. Anyone help?

Sounds like earwigs. Had the same problem with capsicum and cucumber seelings. Look around for sprays to "control" them , mainly with garlic in them. They hate garlic.
