    I've never done onions, especially big ones, but I pay a lot of attention to these videos because I'd like to grow and harvest them properly. I only learned recently that onions should be "cured". I not only didn't know that, I would never have known to ask. Thanks for all this information, Gary. Not just for today's topic, but for all the videos on your channel. I think of them as a library of information that I can watch and use, over and over again. Have a great week!

  • @josentes6776
    @josentes6776 Рік тому +1

    I always cut the green tops off halfway through the growing and use them or dry them for later use and this allows the onion top to not flop over for a longer time so you get a bigger bulb

  • @kimparker1752
    @kimparker1752 Рік тому +1

    Gary, great video, love the short ones to the point! When times suits you, can you show your drying rack for the onions? I have only grown bunching onions but plan to grow a bigger variety next year. Interested to see how you hang them up or what you use to hang them up in. Thanks.

    Hi Gary ... OMG I'm so happy you did this video..
    I have never grown onions before. In a corner in the backyard there's a plant that looks just like
    an onion plant . Kinda smells like one to. Its been growing there for about 10 summers . Every year it grows back.
    Since I don't see it everyday, I've never dug it up. I've thought about digging it ,but I keep forgetting to.
    The leaves look just like yours. But mine are straight up with big white pom pom balls on the tops of the leaves . The pom poms are starting to die. It looks like there is little black seeds in the pom poms, but
    the plant isn't multiplying .
    After all these years of thinking it was a onion plant, obviously it's not 🤣🤣
    Can you tell me what you think it could be ?
    And what to do with it lol

    QUESTION I have a boatload of onions and garlic that have cured in my shed but the August heat is pretty intense we don’t have a root cellar and our basement and garage is too hot for long-term storage (they won’t be cool for a few months). Do you have any advice for long-term storage? We have an air-conditioned area that may work but can we pile the onions on top of each other in a wire basket, same for garlic, or do they need space to breathe?
