Unexpected onions

It turns out that when you grow onions, you should dig around in the ground afterwards because you can't always tell where all of them are. All of these come from the dug up area and were completely invisible from above the ground:
I have also learnt that I should have kicked the onions' leaves/stems over at an early stage, as that way they put all of their energy into their bulbs and can't grow flowers. Speaking of onion flowers, mine have moved onto a new and beautiful stage where they've begun to turn into seed heads.
Once I was done, I then took some of the leeks out of the row that I hadn't fully thinned and created another row where I'd previously been growing the onions.
