Default How do to prepare onions for storage?

It's my first season for onions and am wondering how to best store them. I
planted a pound of yellow onion sets. From the wind and rain, almost all the
green is on the ground, but still green.

Should I wait for the tops to wilt? How about braiding onions? Are they
braided while the tops are still green?

Thanks.


I just rinse the dirt off and store them in a basket in the kitchen at
room temp. Refrigeration works too but I've found they get moldy faster.
