Additional Information
Pull onions at any stage for fresh eating. Harvest young onions to eat as scallions. For full-sized bulbs, don’t pull onions until bulbs are big and tops start to yellow and fall over. To harvest, pull onions and shake off soil. Cure onions by placing them in a warm, place with lots of air flow. During curing, roots shrivel and necks dry and tighten. After 7 to 10 days of air curing, cut off onion tops and trim off roots with snipers or scissors. Carefully rub dry dirt from bulbs, taking extra care not to remove papery outer skins from the bulb. Temperature: Onions will last the longest in a dark, cool (but not cold), dry storage area. Don't ever store onions in plastic bags. Potatoes and onions should not be stored together. |
