The split will be the very dry May we had followed by the downpours.... the onions won't store very long anyway, the overwintering types rarely do so I'd use them up quickly......

Peel. chop and freeze,or freeze whole once peeled, no need to blanch, they do wonderfully well, chuck them in whatever. I do it often just for the convenience.No good as raw though but for everything else they are perfect.Pop whole ones round a roast frozen, they cook great.
