When are onions ready to harvest?

I have lots of onions planted, I think at least 3 squares full, and some seem like they may be getting ripe. Either they are almost ripe or I need to put more MM on top of them b/c the bulbs are starting to show through the soil. Unfortunately I don't recall what kind of onions they are, I think some sort of texas yellow maybe. They aren't supposed to be small, kind of medium sized I think. Any help will be appreciated!
