Title: onions
Post by: jokey on September 12, 2009, 10:03:12

hi all

i lifted my onions 4 days ago, they are quite small but i'm still chuffed.  i have been leaving them outside, how long do i do this for and how would be best to store them.  i know there has been other post on this but i can't find them

cheers

If it's sunny and dry a week should be enough.. if you can lift them off the soil, on some raised chicken wire fencing... and a raised rain cover just in case..
If you have foliage when dry you can tie into "strings" and hang up in a cool dark place.. or just put them into an open-weave "plastic" sack..  :)
