Hi all

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?


Don't hang them in the garage unless you like the added flavour of
carbon monoxide.


The only way you could get CO poisoning in our garage is if you first
took out all the lawnmowers, cardboard boxes, broken kids toys,
furniture, umbrellas, shoes, single wellies, saddles, dog-baskets, alien
artefacts......

What do you think your shed is for - drinking tea and
listening to Radio 2?


playing snooker.
