Lifting Onions
"TheScullster" wrote
When should onions be lifted for storage, or should I have done this
already?
Most of the tops have died back to half-green or totally straw coloured.
Do I just string them together and hang them in the garage, or is there
more to it?
We have had ours in storage for a couple of months already, how come yours
aren't dried out completely? If you don't store them asap they will either
rot or start to grow again.
Depends how dry the stalks are as to which way we store them, this year as
it was so dry the tops were completely dry and I just cut them off (like the
ones for sale) and stored in crates. Some years when there is still sap in
the stalk we tie together and hand in the shed to dry completely.
