Last year we had a wonderful crop, sadly there were more than we have
been able to consume to date and we eat a lot. They are now starting to
sprout, and most have green centres. I realise they are obeying nature
and getting ready to grow. We store them in strings hung in the garage.
Is there any way in the future to proven, or minimise this growth?

Even in this dismal summer, your garage is warming up so the onions
start to sprout.

If you ever have such a huge crop again, then it might be worth
peeling slicing and freezing the last of them, in March or so, before
they start to spoil.

Secondly, this years crop are coming on well, I would not normally
harvest them for some little time, however can they be used if cooked
immediately after picking once the bulbs are large enough?

Of course.
