Brunswicker Red Onions

| Hi friends!
I'm new to the whole fruit/veg/gardening thing, however, I really
enjoy it.
To start me off I am growing some red onions (Brunswicker) in my back
garden, after planting them a couple of weeks ago; they have shot up
pretty well, however, some of the stems have bent and snapped in the
wind - is this normal? or should I snap them off anyway?
Also, how do the reproduce? ie how do i grow more after harvesting
them?
Kindest Regards,
Shaun

| I am surprised that the wind would be responsible, more likely an animal.
However, IMHO the stems are not a problem after all the bulb is the energy
store. I would just leave them and if there are broken portions that wither
and die off, throw them on the compost heap.
