I would leave them another couple of weeks, when they bend where the neck joins the bulb is normally the time

Leave them until they break there necks then ease a fork under them to break the roots. There's no hurry to harvest unless you need the area for another crop.

A lot also depends on the size of onion you want. You can also lift 1 or 2 now for the kitchen.
