Hi All,

I was watching a Korean RomCom a few weeks ago.

Putzette (the romantics female diamond in the rough
lead character) was a farmer. She gave extensive
instructions on how to over winter onion seeds.

The big deal was to cover them with a straw mat
woven for the purpose until spring to protect them
from the snow and ice.

Huh? Do such a thing exist. Would coffee sacks work?

Okay, RomComs are not the best farming advice. Your
words of wisdom please.

Many thanks,

Oh, Putz (the romantics male diamond in the rough
lead character) was also a farmer.

do you want to grow them or just to store them until
needed?

if you are seeking just to store the seeds get them
dry and then freeze them in an air tight container
or envelope.

as the following page gives details, but here is the
prime quote:

"Onion seed dried to 6.5% moisture and stored under
favorable conditions (40-60°F and 40%RH) will last
1-2 years. Properly dried seed that is stored in a
freezer will keep indefinitely."
